The Size of a Soliton
Abstract
We consider the recently proposed Bound State Conjecture for quantum field theory in the context of solitons in two dimensional φ4 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.
