Abstract

The nonlinear quantization of the domain wall (relativistic membrane of codimension 1) is considered. The membrane dust equation is considered as an analogue of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, which allows us to construct its quantum analogue. The resulting equation has the form of a nonlinear Klein-Fock-Gordon equation. It can be interpreted as the mean field approximation for a quantum domain wall. Dispersion relations are obtained for small perturbations (in a linear approximation). The group speed of perturbations does not exceed the speed of light. For perturbations propagating along the domain wall, in addition to the massless mode (as in the classical case), a massive one appears. The result may be interesting in condensed matter theory and in membrane quantization in superstring and supergravity theories.
