Abstract
Atiyah and Manton (1989 Phys. Lett. B 222 438) have outlined
a scheme to obtain approximations to the SU(2) skyrmions from
instantons in 
4. In this paper we apply this scheme to
construct, in
an explicit form, approximations to static spherically symmetric SU(N)
skyrmions with various baryon numbers. In particular, we show how to
obtain these skyrmions from instantons using harmonic maps into complex
projective spaces.
