Abstract: (APS)
We examine semiclassically the φ4 theory in three space dimensions, and relate the circumstances which allow its macroscopic kinks to arise spontaneously in the system.
  • field theory: scalar
  • APPROXIMATION: semiclassical
  • FIELD EQUATIONS: SOLITON
  • FIELD THEORY: FOUR-DIMENSIONAL
