The Forced Soliton Equation and Semiclassical Soliton Form Factors

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-12-30 v1

Abstract

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.
