Soliton quantization in lattice field theories (Q579719): Difference between revisions

Quantization of solitons in terms of Euclidean region functional integrals is developed, and Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction is extended to theories with topological solitons. The quantization method is applied to several lattice field theories with solitons, and the particle structure in the soliton sectors of such theories is analyzed. A construction of magnetic monopoles in the four-dimensional, compact U(1)- model, in the QED phase, is indicated as well.
