Abstract
- We discover a new class of topological solitons. These solitons can exist in a space of infinite volume like, e.g., $\mathbb{R}^n$, but they cannot be placed in any finite volume, because the resulting formal solutions have infinite energy. These objects are, therefore, interpreted as totally incompressible solitons. As a first, particular example we consider (1+1) dimensional kinks in theories with a nonstandard kinetic term or, equivalently, in models with the so-called runaway (or vacummless) potentials. But incompressible solitons exist also in higher dimensions. As specific examples in (3+1) dimensions we study Skyrmions in the dielectric extensions both of the minimal and the BPS Skyrme models. In the the latter case, the skyrmionic matter describes a completely incompressible topological perfect fluid.<br />Comment: reference added
