Evidence for the unbinding of the 𝜙4 kink’s shape mode

Abstract The 𝜙4 double-well theory admits a kink solution, whose rich phenomenology is strongly affected by the existence of a single bound excitation called the shape mode. We find that the leading quantum correction to the energy needed to excite the shape mode is −0.115567λ/M in terms of the coup...
