Abstract

We extend the Skyrme model to incorporate the vector mesons $\ensuremath{\rho}$ and $\ensuremath{\omega}$ in a way consistent with the non-Abelian anomalies of QCD and vector-meson dominance. The vector mesons are treated as composite gauge bosons of a hidden ${\mathrm{SU}(2)}_{V}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}\mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetry. We investigate the bulk properties of hedgehog-type Skyrme solitons in the baryon number $B=1$ sector of this model.
