%0 Journal Article %T The (1+1)-dimensional Massive sine-Gordon Field Theory and the Gaussian Wave-functional Approach %A Wen-Fa Lu %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.59.105021 %X The ground, one- and two-particle states of the (1+1)-dimensional massive sine-Gordon field theory are investigated within the framework of the Gaussian wave-functional approach. We demonstrate that for a certain region of the model-parameter space, the vacuum of the field system is asymmetrical. Furthermore, it is shown that two-particle bound state can exist upon the asymmetric vacuum for a part of the aforementioned region. Besides, for the bosonic equivalent to the massive Schwinger model, the masses of the one boson and two-boson bound states agree with the recent second-order results of a fermion-mass perturbation calculation when the fermion mass is small. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9804047v2
