Non-rigid quantization of the Skyrmion: Translational degrees of freedom

We present a non-rigid quantization scheme for the translational degrees of freedom of the skyrmion, using the Dirac formalism for constrained systems. In this scheme, one can derive a systematic semiclassical expansion which yields a correct soft-pion limit and gives a proper treatment of retardation. We discuss the pionbaryon vertex and the baryon form factor.
