Scaling in the sine-Gordon theory

  • 1. Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev, Beersheba (Israel)

Description

It is shown that both the classical and the quantum sine-Gordon theory depend on a single scaling parameter and therefore the coupling constant cannot be freely chosen. To introduce a meaningful coupling constant it is proposed to include higher Fourier terms in the sine-Gordon potential. The two term case is exactly solvable. (Auth.)
