Abstract
The compactness property for topological and nontopological solitons in nonlinear scalar field theories is studied. A simple criterion for soliton compactness is derived in 1+1 dimensions. For nontopological solitons, it is shown that the criterion also applies for any number of space-time dimensions. On the other hand, topological solitons can also have the special property of semicompactness.
