Skyrmions with vector mesons in the hidden local symmetry approach
  The roles of light $\rho$ and $\omega$ vector mesons in the Skyrmion are investigated in a chiral Lagrangian derived from the hidden local symmetry (HLS) up to $O(p^4)$ including the homogeneous Wess-Zumino (hWZ) terms. We write a general "master formula" that allows us to determine the parameters of the HLS Lagrangian from a class of holographic QCD models valid at large $N_c$ and $\lambda$ ('t Hooft constant) limit by integrating out the infinite towers of vector and axial-vector mesons other than the lowest $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons. Within this approach we find that the physical properties of the Skyrmion as the solitonic description of baryons are \textit{independent} of the HLS parameter $a$. Therefore the only parameters of the model are the pion decay constant and the vector meson mass. Once determined in the meson sector, we have a totally parameter-free theory that allows us to study unequivocally the role of light vector mesons in the Skyrmion structure. We find, as suggested by Sutcliffe, that inclusion of the $\rho$ meson reduces the soliton mass, which makes the Skyrmion come closer to the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) soliton, but the role of the $\omega$ meson is found to increase the soliton mass. In a stark contrast, the $\Delta$-$N$ mass difference, which is determined by the moment of inertia in adiabatic collective quantization of the Skyrmion, is increased by the $\rho$ vector meson, while it is reduced by the inclusion of the $\omega$ meson. All these observations show the importance of the $\omega$ meson in the properties of the nucleon and nuclear matter in the Skyrme model.
