Abstract
We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using the instanton and product approximations to skyrmion dynamics. In doing so, we also calculate the classical potential and metric for skyrmion dynamics in each of the approximations. This is the first time they have been compared in detail and the results show major disagreements between the approximations. We derive the eight low-energy nucleon-nucleon interaction potentials and compare them with the Paris model. For the instanton approximation we find strong negative isoscalar and isovector spin-orbit potentials, matching phenomenological models and our geometric intuition. Results for the other potentials are mixed, in part due to the zero pion mass limit used in this approximation.
