The Forced Soliton Equation and Semiclassical Soliton Form Factors


Abstract in English

We show that the leading semiclassical behavior of soliton form factors at arbitrary momentum transfer is controlled by solutions to a new wave-like integro-differential equation that describes solitons undergoing acceleration. We work in the context of two-dimensional linear sigma models with kink solitons for concreteness, but our methods are purely semiclassical and generalizable.
