A nonperturbative regularization of UV-divergencies, caused by finite discontinuities in the field configuration, is discussed in the context of 1+1-dimensional kink models. The relationship between this procedure and the appearance of "quantum copies" of classical kink solutions is studied in detail and confirmed by conventional methods of soliton quantization.
We propose a method of Casimir pressure renormalization for massive scalar field in a ball. This method is slightly different from the generally accepted. An alternative way of choosing the normalization point leads to an exponential pressure dependence on the mass of the field instead of an inverse polynomial dependence. The method proposed does not use the scalar quantized field in the exterior domain. This allows us to bypass the difficulties that appear when one uses the standard approach.Key words: quantized fields, vacuum in quantum field theory, zero-point oscillations, Casimir effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
