Reinterpretation of Skyrme Theory
I. Introduction & OverviewA) Skyrme theory has rich topological structures
1) monopole
2) baby skyrmion
3) skyrmion
4) knot
B) Skyrme theory is a theory of monopole, where all topological objects originates from monopoles.
C) Skyrme theory is a theory of confinement with a built-in Meissner effect, where the confinement scale is fixed at the classical level.
D) Skyrme theory is an effective theory of strong interaction which is dual to QCD. It confines monopoles, not the quarks.

Skyrmion
We can construct a knot by smoothly bending the helical baby skyrmion and connecting the periodic ends together.

• Dynamical stability
Reinterpretation of Skyrme Theory
• Physical manifestation of knot
The supercurrent along the knot generates a net angular momentum which prevents the collapse of the knot.
The knot can be viewed as two magnetic fluxes linked together, whose linking number becomes the knot quantum number.
