New Approaches to Soliton Quantization and Existence for Particle Physics

This paper provides mathematical details related to another new paper which suggests: (1) new approaches to the analysis of soliton stability; (2) families of Lagrangian field theories where solitons might possibly exist even without topological charge; (3) alternative approaches to quantizing solitons, with testable nuclear implications. This paper evaluates the possibility of strong energy-minimizing states in four families of systems, two promising and two not promising. In these examples, it presents new methods for second-order stability analysis, and analyzes persistent multifurcation. Section 6 presents three alternative formalisms for quantizing solitons (topological or nontopological), all of which have major implications for the foundations of quantum theory: (1) the standard formalism, based on functional integration, reinterpreted as an imaginary Markhov Random Field (iMRF) across time and space, with parallels to fuzzy logic; (2) two radically conservative formalisms, consistent with the core of Einstein's vision, based on a true MRF model. Bell's Theorem, bosonization, time-symmetry and macroscopic asymmetry are discussed, along with some testable alternative possibilities and heresies, like nonDoppler redshift.
