1-loop corrections to the SU(3) symmetric chiral soliton

Abstract

Masses of the SU(3) chiral soliton in tree approximation turn out at much too high energies typically around 2 GeV. It is shown that 1-loop corrections reduce this value drastically with results in the region of the empirical nucleon mass.
