This talk will take as a starting point the Skyrmions as baryons in large- N QCD. It is further assumed that at high density, the sextic term in derivatives becomes dominant at some large density. This assumption is based on the observation that the term behaves like a perfect fluid, which is welcome for nuclear matter at large density – an environment suitable for the studies of neutron stars. With very large masses and compact radii, neutron stars become the closes known stable objects to the critical line of gravitational collapse. With some phenomenological motivation in mind, we consider the possibilities of finding exact analytic solutions to a system which is approximated by the sextic derivative term and a potential; this system is called the BPS-Skyrme model. We find a condition for when the gravitating soliton equations can be solved exactly and deduce the phenomenological implications. We furthermore find that this system has the peculiarity of not having stable black holes, meaning that the soliton cannot become scalar hair of a black hole. This is somewhat surprising, because the Skyrme soliton with a fourth-order derivative term can become stable black hole hair. We write down a class of models with higher-order derivative terms and find 2 new models that can sustain stable hair and 2 new that cannot.

Finally, we consider the problem of the classical binding energies of the Skyrmions, which are far too large compared to nuclei and explain a solution to this problem based on holography. Interestingly the solution from holography relates the baryon to the instanton of a 5-dimensional theory and the moduli of the instanton become massive modes in the Skyrmion. These modes in addition to the zero modes of the Skyrmion are expected to describe the spectra of nuclei.

Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard helped decipher the logic of the genes required to control early embryonic development. Based on her research, a plethora of transcription control genes was discovered and found to be conserved throughout evolution. In her talk she will discuss the basic mechanisms needed to establish a distinct pattern of cells during embryogenesis. She will also talk about the point of beauty in nature as well as why animals have patterns, a subject on which she has been writing a book. Her research laid the conceptual foundation for our understanding of organ formation and regeneration using the developmental control genes.
