Abstract
The theoretical basis for soliton excitations in polyacetylene is discussed. The unique charge-spin relations, light mass, and new electronic states of solitons lead to interesting experimental consequences. Models of the semiconductor metal transition are presented, and real time dynamics of (CH)X is illustrated.
