Abstract
The nucleon-nucleon interaction is derived in the Skyrme model for the baryons. The full time dependence of the rotating soliton fields is taken into account and shown to lead to interaction components that do not appear in the static approximation as well as to small corrections to those that do. The spin-independent interaction is shown to be attractive at long range although the attraction for reasonable choices of the parameter values in the model is too weak to explain nuclear binding.
