Abstract

The applications of skyrmions to the derivation of the nucleon-nucleon force are now over a dozen years old, and this occasion is used to assess the degree of success of the endeavor. A very brief review is given of the use of skyrmions for determining single-baryon properties. Then their use for two-nucleon systems is described, with attention to the use of the product ansatz, the full structure of the lagrangian, baryon resonance admixtures, dilatons, and exact solutions for the B = 2 system in order to find the sources of attraction in the central potential. We briefly address possible insights into the behavior of the nucleon in nuclei achieved from the skyrmion approach.
