On solitons

The soliton fad is a catchy mixture of operator algebra and explicitlly solvable differential equations. How can anyone resist such temptation? So much for the good news. The bad news is that solitons seem unbudgingly one-dimensional, despite the insinuations of computer simulators. Chalk one up to one-dimensional physics.
