Quantization ambiguities of the SU(3) soliton

Description

We reconsider canonical quantization of the rotating soliton in the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model. We show that at the level of 1/Nc, in contrast to the SU(2) version of the model, there appear terms which spoil the commutation rules of the flavor generators. Terms of similar origin are also present in the expressions for axial couplings and magnetic moments. We investigate the small soliton limit of the model, and require that the results for the physical observables reduce to the ones of the non-relativistic quark model. This procedure allows us to identify the troublesome terms. Next, we introduce a symmetry conserving approach which consists in subtracting the previously identified terms
