Abstract:

The soliton-phonon theory of Johnson et al. and Timonen et al. for the classical statistical mechanics of the sine-Gordon model is examined analytically and numerically. It is demonstrated that the soliton-phonon theory is not more than a good approximation in the low reduced temperature regime.
