| dc.description | The introduction and quantization of a center-of-mass coordinate is demonstrated for the one-soliton sector of nonlinear field theories in (1+1) dimensions. The present approach strongly emphazises the gauge and BRST-symmetry aspects of collective coordinate quantization. A gauge is presented which is independent of any approximation scheme and which allows to interpret the new degree of freedom as the {\em quantized} center of mass coordinate of a soliton. Lorentz invariance is used from the beginning to introduce fluctuations of the collective coordinate in the {\em rest frame} of the {\em moving} soliton. It turns out that due to the extended nature of the soliton retardation effects lead to differences in the quantum mechanics of the soliton as compared to a point-like particle. Finally, the results of the semiclassical expansion are used to analyse effective soliton-meson vertices and the coupling to an external source. Such a coupling in general causes acceleration as well as internal excitation of the soliton. | |
