Metric Dilation as a Gauge-Fixed Probe of the Source Coefficient a in the S3 Single-Field Program
Abstract
A numerical probe for defect–background coupling in an S3 Skyrme-type field theory. We introduce a localized metric-dilation deformation, define the response aΩa_\OmegaaΩ from twist rest-energy shifts, and report lattice results and systematics. The coefficient provides an operational handle on emergent weak-field coupling.
