Abstract
We predict a novel family of baryons with or without the charm quantum number by quantizing the "maximal solitons" in the SU(4) Skyrme model. The baryon number $B$ of these solitons can take any integer value. The low-lying states with $B=1$ belong to ${4}^{*}$ with spin $\frac{3}{2}$, ${20}^{*}$ with spin \textonehalf{}, $\frac{3}{2}$, $\frac{5}{2}$, or $\frac{7}{2}$, and ${20}^{*}$\ensuremath{''} with spin $\frac{3}{2}$, $\frac{5}{2}$, or $\frac{9}{2}$. The charm-zero states among them could correspond to some of the observed resonances in meson-baryon scattering between 1.5 and 2 GeV. The lowest among the dibaryon states is an SU(3) singlet contained in the ${10}^{*}$ of SU(4) with spin 1, with mass in the range 2.5-3 GeV.
