Scalar-field vacuum

A scalar-field vacuum is a constant field at a minimum of its potential energy, with the minimum shifted to zero when discussing finite-energy classical field-theory solitons. Distinct isolated vacua allow a scalar-field kink to approach different values at the two ends of space.
