Noncommutative solitons are easier to find in a noncommutative field theory. Similarly, the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass of a noncommutative soliton are easier to compute, in a real scalar theory in 2+1 dimensions. We carry out…
In this paper, a new method to describe the energy spectrums of bound states in Quantum Field Theory is presented. We point out that the fundamental field and its dual soliton combine together to form bound states and the soliton…
We present a numerical scheme for calculating the first quantum corrections to the properties of static solitons. The technique is applicable to solitons of arbitrary shape, and may be used in 3+1 dimensions for multiskyrmions or other…
We calculate the quantum mass corrections to the solitons in the C_2^(1) Affine Toda field theory. We find that the ratio of the masses of the two solitons is not constant.
The first quantum mass corrections for the solitons of complex $sl(n)$ affine Toda field theory are calculated. The corrections are real and preserve the classical mass ratios. The formalism also proves that the solitons are classically…
We show how to calculate the quantum mass correction to (1+1)D solitonic field theories using numerical methods. This is essential if we want to find the corrections to non-integrable models. We start with a review of the standard…
The spectra of $A_r$ affine Toda field theories with imaginary coupling constant, are investigated. Soliton solutions are found, which, despite the non-unitary form of the Lagrangian, have real classical masses and are stable to small…
In classical Lorentz-invariant field theories, localized soliton solutions necessarily break translation symmetry. In the corresponding quantum field theories, the position is quantized and, if the theory is not compactified, they have…
Solitonic scalar field configurations are studied in a theory coupled to gravity. It is found that non-topological solitons, Q-balls, are present in the theory. Properties of gravitationally self coupled Q-balls are studied by analytical…
Recently we constructed two new $(1+1)$-dimensional scalar field theory models that posses solitonic solutions. They are the $U(\phi)=\phi^2\ln^2(\phi^2)$ and the $U(\phi)=\phi^2\cos^2(\phi^2)$ models . The first quantum corrections for…
We review recent progress in the computation of leading quantum corrections to the energies of classical solitons with topological structure, including multi-soliton models in one space dimension and string configurations in three space…
We compute quantum corrections to soliton masses in affine Toda theories with imaginary exponentials based on the nonsimply-laced Lie algebras $c_n^{(1)}$. We find that the soliton mass ratios renormalize nontrivially, in the same manner as…
We study the finite theta correction to the metric of the moduli space of noncommutative multi-solitons in scalar field theory in (2+1) dimensions. By solving the equation of motion up to order O(theta^{-2}) explicitly, we show that the…
A powerful tool for studying the behavior of classical field theories is Derrick's theorem: one may rule out the existence of localized inhomogeneous stable field configurations (solitons) by inspecting the Hamiltonian and making scaling…
Soliton solutions in scalar field theory defined on a two-dimensional Anti-de Sitter background space-time are investigated. It is shown that the lowest soliton excitation generically has frequency equal to the inverse radius of the…
We first carry out the soliton sector quantization of the spatially cut-off $\phi^4_{1+1}$ theory with double well potential in the semiclassical limit, deriving the nonrelativistic Schr\"odinger equation as an equation describing the…
In 1+1 dimensions, it is well known that the quantum states corresponding to solitons are well described by coherent states. In his 1975 Erice lectures, Coleman observed that this construction does not extend to higher dimensions, as the…
We develop an alternative derivation of the renormalized expression for the one-loop soliton quantum mass corrections in (1+1)-dimensional scalar field theories. We regularize implicitly such quantity by subtracting and adding its…
We start by discussing the classical noncommutative (NC) Q-ball solutions near the commutative limit, then generalize the virial relation. Next we quantize the NC Q-ball canonically. At very small theta quantum correction to the energy of…
Quantum field theory in the presence of localized solitons is more complicated than vacuum sector quantum field theory, largely as a result of the soliton's zero modes. In the present work, we try to understand to what extent this situation…
