Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Reflectionless Scattering Data

arXiv:hep-th/0206199 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.67.025003

Abstract

We consider the question which potentials in the action of a (1+1) dimensional scalar field theory allowing for spontaneous symmetry breaking have quantum fluctuations corresponding to reflectionless scattering data. The general problem of restoration from known scattering data is formulated and a number of explicit examples is given. Only certain sets of reflectionless scattering data correspond to symmetry breaking and all restored potentials are similar either to the Phi**4-model or to the sine-Gordon model.
