QUANTUM GENERALIZATION OF THE CLASSICAL ROTATING SOLUTIONS OF THE O(N) MODEL

Abstract Analytic solutions of the mean field evolution equations for an N-component scalar field with O(N) symmetry are presented. These solutions correspond to rotations in isospin space. They represent generalizations of the classical solutions obtained earlier by Anselm and Ryskin. As compared to classical solutions new effects arise because of the coupling between the average value of the field and quantum fluctuations.
