  We study the baby Skyrme model in a pure AdS background without a mass term.
The tail decays and scalings of massless radial solutions are demonstrated to
take a similar form to those of the massive flat space model, with the AdS
curvature playing a similar role to the flat space pion mass. We also
numerically find minimal energy solutions for a range of higher topological
charges and find that they form concentric ring-like solutions. Popcorn
transitions (named in analogy with studies of toy models of holographic QCD)
from an n layer to an n+1-layer configuration are observed at topological
charges 9 and 27 and further popcorn transitions for higher charges are
predicted. Finally, a point-particle approximation for the model is derived and
used to successfully predict the ring structures and popcorn transitions for
higher charge solitons.
