One-loop mass shift formula for kinks and self-dual vortices
arXiv:hep-th/0510234 · doi:10.1088/0305-4470/39/21/S42
Abstract
A formula is derived that allows us to compute one-loop mass shifts for kinks and self-dual Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices. The procedure is based in canonical quantization and heat kernel/zeta function regularization methods.
