Riska %J Physics %D 1996 %I arXiv %R 10.1088/0031-8949/55/1/004 %X The coupling of the breathing and rotational modes of the skyrmion-skyrmion system leads to a nucleon-nucleon spin-orbit interaction of short range, as well as to spin-orbit potentials for the transitions $NN \to N(1440)N$, $NN \to NN(1440)$ and $NN \to N(1440)N(1440)$. The longest range behaviour of these spin-orbit potentials is calculated in closed form. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/9602008v1
