On Standard Model, Topological Skyrme Model and Revival of the Sakaton

Abstract

We study the basic conflict between the standard model of particle physics and an another similarly structured but quite different model having the electric charge with color degrees of freedom, and how they connect to a consistent study of QCD for arbitrary number of colors. Further, with the imposition of the consistency with electric charges (i.e. with QED), the topological Skyrme model is shown to lead to a clear revival of the concept of the Sakaton as a physical reality which provides a new perspective to the hypernuclei.
