Some exact solutions for one-dimensional self-interacting systems in quantum field theories

Particular positive or negative frequency solutions of the field equation, (d2/dt2 + m2)phi/sub q lambda/ + lambda phi/sub q lambda/ /sup 2q+1/ = 0, for which q not equal to 0, -1 are used in the study of one-dimensional quantum field theories. The commutator, [phi/sub q lambda/,d phi/sub q lambda//dt]/sub -/ = 1, is not applied because phi/sub q lambda/ is required to be a general solution. The commutator, [phi/sub q lambda//sup (+)/(t),phi/sub q lambda//sup (-)/(t)]/sub -/ = 1, cannot be applied to the particular solutions considered. The system is quantized by requiring that [phi/sub q lambda//sup (+)/(0),phi/sub q lambda//sup (-)/(0)]/sub -/ = 1 in analogy with the quantization procedure prescribed for free fields. This quantization procedure leads to a propagator which is not invariant with respect to time translations. Hence any connection between the procedure for quantizing nonlinear particular solutions and the linear canonical quantization formalism remains obscure. General solutions of the field equation, (d2/dt2 + m2)phi + lambda phi3 = 0, are patterned after solutions obtained by the method of successive approximations. These solutions process terms containing polynomial factors in the independent variable, t, known as secular terms which account for the unboundedness of the solutions for large magnitudes of the independent variable. Therefore the differential equation and its solution complete with secular terms are modified by making structural changes in both and by expanding the mass in operator-valued terms. The constituent operators of the solution and mass are chosen such that the secular terms are eliminated. The higher order terms in the mass operator are rewritten in terms of the field solution and its first derivative
