One-loop quantum stress-energy tensor for the kink and sine-Gordon solitons

We compute the renormalized one-loop quantum corrections to the energy density T00(x) and pressure T11(x) for solitons in the 1+1 dimensional scalar sine-Gordon and kink models. We show how precise implementation of counterterms in dimensional regularization resolves previously identified discrepanc...
