The Size of a Soliton

arXiv:2207.01274

Abstract

We consider the recently proposed Bound State Conjecture for quantum field theory in the context of solitons in two dimensional 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.
