    This document discusses kinks in sine-Gordon theory, which is a theory of a scalar field in 1+1 dimensions with a canonical kinetic term and a potential V(φ) = A(1 - cos2πφ/a). It asks to find the explicit form of the kink solution φ(x) that interpolates between two adjacent vacua at φ = na with n ∈ Z, and write the kink's energy in terms of the effective mass parameter m = √(2πA/a) and coupling constant λ = A/16π4a4.

    Kinks in sine-Gordon theory: consider a theory of a single scalar eld in 1+1 dimensions with the canonical kinetic term and a potential: V () = A 1 cos 2 a

    The vacua of this theory are at = na with n Z. Find the explicit form of the kink solution (x) that interpolates between two adjacent vacua and its energy. Write the A answer in terms of the eective mass parameter m = 2 a and the coupling constant A = 16 4 a 4.
