摘要
We consider the semiclassical quantization of sine-Gordon solitons on the circle with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions. The I-loop quantum corrections to the mass of the solitons are determined using zeta function regularization in the integral representation. We compare the semiclassical results with exact numerical calculations in the literature and find excellent agreement even outside the plain semiclassical regime. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
