In this series of lectures a method is developed to compute one-loop shifts to classical masses of kinks, multi-component kinks, and self-dual vortices. Canonical quantization is used to show that the mass shift induced by one-loop quantum fluctuations is the trace of the square root of the differential operator governing these fluctuations. Standard mathematical techniques are used to deal with some powers of pseudo-differential operators. Ultraviolet divergences are tamed by using generalized zeta function regularization methods and, then performing zero-point energy and mass renormalizations.

The Domain Wall Soliton's Tension
The one-loop domain wall tension in 3+1d phi^4 theory is computed as m^3/(3λ) + 0.0410959 m^3 under a chosen renormalization scheme.
