Abstract

We point out that the putative Skyrme soliton in a simple chiral model of pions (without the Skyrme term) can be stabilized against collapse by quantum fluctuations. This leads to a reasonable "zeroth order" description of the nucleon in terms of the single (pion decay) constant $F_{π}$ .
