Abstract
The SU(2) Skyrme model is formulated on a four-dimensional lattice wit h the nearest and next-to-nearest neighbor interactions in the action. To establish a continuum limit, the phase structure is studied and th e order of phase transition is determined by various methods. Coexiste nce of two phases and hysteresis effect are observed at the critical p oint, indicating a first-order phase transition in the parameter space .
