Abstract: We present an analytic result for the 1-loop quantum mass correction in semiclassical quantization for the twisted phi^4 kink on S^1 without explicit knowledge of the fluctuation spectrum. For this purpose we use the contour integral representation of the spectral zeta function. By solving the Bethe ansatz equations for the n=2 Lame equation we obtain an analytic expression for the corresponding spectral discriminant. We discuss the renormalization issues of this model. An energetically preferred size for the compact space is finally obtained.
