Generalized quantum sine-Gordon equation and its relation to the Thirring model in quantum field theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

We discuss a generalization of the conventional sine-Gordon quantum field theory by using methods recently developed by Coleman. As a result we can argue that the equivalence between the sine-Gordon theory and the massive Thirring model is unaffected if we perturb the sine-Gordon Hamiltonian by a bounded perturbation consisting of a continuous sum of sine-Gordon type interactions.
