We present a dynamical description and analysis of nonequilibrium transitions in the noisy one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equation for an extensive system based on a weak noise canonical phase space formulation of the Freidlin-Wentzel or Martin-Siggia-Rose methods. We derive propagating nonlinear domain wall or soliton solutions of the resulting canonical field equations with superimposed diffusive modes. The transition pathways are characterized by the nucleation and subsequent propagation of domain walls. We discuss the general switching scenario in terms of a dilute gas of propagating domain walls and evaluate the Arrhenius factor in terms of the associated action. We find excellent agreement with recent numerical optimization studies.
