Abstract
The quantum properties of solitons at one loop can be related to phase shif ts of waves on the soliton background. These can be combined with heat kern el methods to calculate various parameters. The vacuum energy of a CP(1) so liton in 2 + 1 dimensions is calculated as an example. (C) 1999 Published b y Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
