The Size of a Soliton

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-07-05 v1

Abstract

We consider the recently proposed Bound State Conjecture for quantum field theory in the context of solitons in two dimensional ϕ4\phi^4 scalar field theory. We calculate the quantum correction to the size of the soliton which, taken together with the known mass correction, shows behaviour consistent with regarding the soliton as a bound state, and with the conjecture.
