Abstract
Toroidal solutions to the Faddeev model are considered for a topological charge Q = 1 using the method of trial functions. The energy E of a torus is evaluated as a function of its radius R. The energy is shown to pass through a minimum at R = 3.5, which ensures stability of the torus to collapse. The energy of toroidal solitons, E = 42.25, agrees with earlier results and takes into account the curvature energy. The Faddeev model appears to be useful in analyzing the toroidal ordering found recently in GaFeO3-type magnetic oxides.
