Abstract
We compute the renormalized one-loop quantum corrections to the energy density and pressure for solitons in the dimensional scalar sine-Gordon and kink models. We show how precise implementation of counterterms in dimensional regularization resolves previously identified discrepancies between the integral of and the known correction to the total energy.
