Pion Fluctuations about the Skyrmion

Abstract
We consider pion fluctuations about a classical solution in the skyrme model. The fluctuations are defined as chiral perturbations. The nucleons are quantized by means of the collective coordinate procedure. By the chiral perturbations we obtain a reasonable pion-nucleon lagrangian. A pionic correction is shown to be large for the moment of inertia of the rotating soliton.
