Soliton Coupling Driven by Phase Fluctuations in Auto-Parametric Resonance
(19K, LaTeX 2e)

ABSTRACT.  In this paper the interaction of sine-Gordon solitons and 
mediating linear waves is modelled by a special case of 
auto-parametric resonance, the Rayleigh-type self-excited 
non-linear autonomous system driven by a statistical phase 
gradient related to the soliton energy. Spherical symmetry can 
stimulate "whispering gallery modes" (WGM) with integral coupling 
number M=137.
