Skyrmion Properties in an Uniform Magnetic Field

The mass and shape of skyrmion in an uniform magnetic field are investigated. Base on the symmetry of the system, an axially symmetric ansatz of the soliton is proposed to perform the study. The baryon number is shown to be always conserved even in a nonzero magnetic background. It is found that with the increase of the strength of magnetic field, the static mass of skyrmion first decreases then increases, as the dominant role shift from the linear term of magnetic field to the quadratic term of magnetic field, while the soliton size first increase then decrease. Finally, in the core part of magnetar, the equation of state have strong dependence of magnetic field, which also modifies the mass limit for magnetar.
