Abstract

We propose to study the properties of skyrmions in nicakly doped CuO2 planes relevant for high - Tc systems. The carpling of the dopant hole's spin current to the magnetization current of the spin background leads to a skyrmionic spin texture around the charge. We will focus on the dynamics of the charge skyrmion system. (AU)
