Abstract
The types of invariant configurations admitted by the field equations in four-dimensional SU(2) chiral models are studied. It is shown that in the Skyrme model in the second and higher homotopy classes the fields that realize an absolute minimum of the energy are axisymmetric, while those in the first class are spherically symmetric.
