Identify the complete spectrum of excited solution branches

Identify the additional stable or unstable excitation branches of the gravitating chiral-quark soliton model arising from different balances between valence and Dirac-sea contributions, and determine the full structure of its solution spectrum.

Background

The numerical study primarily obtains ground-state solutions and observes some excited states near the ground state. The authors suggest that further unstable branches may arise from other balances between valence and Dirac-sea contributions.

Those branches were not found by the numerical scheme used in the paper. A more efficient computational method is required to determine whether such branches exist and to characterize the complete excitation spectrum.

References

We guess that there are other (unstable) branches from the various valence and Dirac-sea contribution balances that our numerical scheme was unable to identify. Understanding the full structure of the spectrum in the present model requires a more efficient scheme to obtain the excited states.
