One-loop soliton mass correction
ID: one-loop-soliton-mass-correction
In a common finite-volume regularization in quantum field theory, the oscillator contribution is , including every discrete and continuum-derived mode and treating translation as a collective coordinate. Physical frequencies are when coordinates are measured in units of . A mass counterterm is added only afterwards. The vacuum subtraction removes the extensive vacuum energy but can leave an ultraviolet divergence.
