On the Algebraic Theory of Soliton and Antisoliton Sectors

Abstract

We consider the properties of massive one particle states on a translation covariant Haag-Kastler net in Minkowski space. In two dimensional theories, these states can be interpreted as soliton states and we are interested in the existence of antisolitons. It is shown that for each soliton state there are three different possibilities for the construction of an antisoliton sector which are equivalent if the (statistical) dimension of the corresponding soliton sector is finite.
