Abstract
We study quantum effects of recently discovered kink solitons which are constructed self-consistently by coupling to a single, excited fermion bound state. Our studies are based on the observation that in a semi-classical expansion the energies of this single level and of the Dirac sea should be treated equally. For these kink solutions we compute the energy of the Dirac sea as the fermion vacuum polarization energy. We find it to be substantial and to typically outweigh the energy gain from binding the single level.
