abstract:
 
I analyze the one-dimensional, cubic Schrödinger equation with a nonlinearity constructed from the current density rather than, as is usual, from the charge density. A soliton solution is found, where the soliton moves only in one direction. Relation to the higher-dimensional Chern­Simons theory is indicated. The theory is quantized and results for the two-body quantum problem agree at weak coupling with those coming from a semiclassical quantization of the soliton.
