Abstract
The Skyrme model is a classical field theory modelling the strong interaction between atomic nuclei. It has to be quantized in order to compare it to nuclear physics. When the Skyrme model is semi-classically quantized it is important to take the Finkelstein–Rubinstein constraints into account. Recently, a simple formula has been derived to calculate the constraints for Skyrmions which are well approximated by rational maps. However, if a pion mass term is included in the model, Skyrmions of sufficiently large baryon number are no longer well approximated by the rational map ansatz. This paper addresses the question how to calculate Finkelstein–Rubinstein constraints for Skyrme configurations which are only known numerically.
