A method is described for the restoration of translation or rotation symmetry to a system of fermions, starting from a self-consistent cranking solution and valid when either momentum or angular momentum is large enough so that semi-classical approximations are valid. The quantum fluctuations that restore the broken symmetry are described in terms of the particle-hole degrees of freedom of the original system rather than by mapping these variables onto a boson space, as in most previous work. Only the leading quantum correction to the mean field solution is worked out in detail. New results include the treatment of direct and exchange effects on an equal footing and a method for computing transition rates.
