Code:
[tex]
f_{\mu}=\frac{\beta_{\mu}\psi\xi_{_{g}}}{\cosh^{2}\psi\xi}
,\hspace{2em}
\xi=\xi_{_{T}}x^{0}+\xi_{_{S}}\sqrt{(x^{1})^{2}+(x^{2})^{2}+(x^{3})^{2}}
,\hspace{2em}
\beta_{\mu},\:\xi_{_{g}}},\:\xi_{_{T}},\:\xi_{_{S}}\rightarrow constant

Is this f_{\mu} soliton ?

I don't think many people will be able to help if you are not going to try to be a bit more clear. Elaborate on the context surrounding your question, please. Whithin what course are you seeing this ?

As far as i remember, you acquire a soliton solution (in 2+1 dimensional QFT) if your solution gives you a constant value at infinity (both + and - infinities) and if in between, there is a continuous evolution from the "minus-infinity constant" towards the "+ infinity constant". Both constants are equal in magnitude but have opposite signs and they correspond to the socalled "vacuum value" (degenerate lowest energy value).

Thanks Marlon! Good link. :biggrin:
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
