The self-interacting scalar field theory with the negative coupling constant gives rise to the bell-shaped solitary wave solution which can be interpreted as a massive Bose particle. We compare its properties with those of the kink solution (also known as the domain-wall potential) arisen in the theory with the positive constant introducing the simplest example of the spontaneous breaking of symmetry. We rule out the uniform p-brane action for the kink and bell solutions as the nonminimal point particles with curvature. When quantizing it as the theory with higher derivatives, it is shown that the appearing quantum equation has SU (2) dynamical symmetry group realizing the exact spin-coordinate correspondence. Finally, we calculate the quantum corrections to the masses of kink and bell bosons which cannot be obtained by means of the perturbation theory starting from the vacuum sector.

In his book “A Treatise on Analytical Dynamics,” Pars asserted that acceleration-dependent forces are inconsistent with one of the fundamental principles of mechanics, namely, with the superposition principle, thus spreading among mechanical scientists the idea that such forces are not admissible in mechanics. This article demonstrates that given forces that depend on acceleration or higher derivatives are admissible in mechanics and shows that this assertion in Pars’s book is fallacious and the only condition for the applicability of such forces is the equation of motion possessing a unique solution.
