Rotating Hopf-kinks: A realistic particle model

A specific form of the Hopf map S3→S2S3→S2 is introduced. The map is represented by the fields θθ and ϕϕ describing an (infinitely) extended, topologically stable field structure in three dimensional space performing an internal rotation. That ‘bunched’ field shows properties that can be identified with properties of a particle: discrete mass and charge, spin, left or right-handed chirality, and a far-reaching field oscillating in phase with the internal rotation of the structure. In this model the particle is not introduced as a basic object but appears as a specific field concentration of the extended field, which is considered to be the fundamental entity.
