Abstract

Quantum kinks in gauge theories on R2S1R^2\otimes S^1 space-time are studied. To obtain the, explicit profile of the kinks, we calculated effective actions including derivative corrections for vacuum gauge fields on S1S^1 at zero, and finite temperature up to one-loop level. It is found that there are soliton solutions in scalar QED. We also find that the derivative correction tends to make the vacuum unstable in SU(2)SU(2) Yang-Mills theory.
