Description
In the instant-time formulation of quantum field theory, solitons correspond to states. We present a new formalism for treating these states. The formalism is much simpler and easier to use than previous formalisms, making many previously impractical problems now practical. We have used it to calculate soliton masses, spectra, form factors, and scattering amplitudes, as well as the decay rates of excited solitons. Our long-term goal is to treat the monopoles whose condensation may be responsible for confinement in QCD.
