It is shown that, by usual definition about the Hopf term, the Skyrmions in the (2+l)-D 0(3) non-linear a model with this term have only integer spin. A modified definition about the term is suggested to make the Skyrmions have probability to possess fractional spin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
