      abstract     = {We study the sliding friction for viscoelastic solids,
                      e.g., rubber, on hard flat substrate surfaces. We consider
                      first the fluctuating shear stress inside a viscoelastic
                      solid which results from the thermal motion of the atoms or
                      molecules in the solid. At the nanoscale the thermal
                      fluctuations are very strong and give rise to stress
                      fluctuations in the MPa-range, which is similar to the
                      depinning stresses which typically occur at solid-rubber
                      interfaces, indicating the crucial importance of thermal
                      fluctuations for rubber friction on smooth surfaces. We
                      develop a detailed model which takes into account the
                      influence of thermal fluctuations on the depinning of small
                      contact patches (stress domains) at the rubber-substrate
                      interface. The theory predicts that the velocity dependence
                      of the macroscopic shear stress has a bell-shaped form, and
                      that the low-velocity side exhibits the same temperature
                      dependence as the bulk viscoelastic modulus, in qualitative
                      agreement with experimental data. Finally, we discuss the
                      influence of small-amplitude substrate roughness on rubber
                      sliding friction.},
