Abstract

Feynman rules are derived for computing quantum corrections to the mass of a soliton in quantum field theory. These rules exhibit a finite propagator, but in contrast to previous methods, no additional effective vertices are introduced beyond those present in the original shifted Lagrangian. The derivation is based on imposing end-point boundary conditions appropriate to a soliton state on the functional integral representing the soliton-to-soliton transition amplitude.
