Abstract
Completely integrable Hamiltonian systems quite naturally lend themselves to semi-classical quantization methods. This is one of the reasons why the pioneers of the semi-classical approach to local quantum field theory have chosen the completely integrable sine Gordon model as the testing ground for their respective formalisms [1]. Certainly, the importance of this model does not end with that. The sine Gordon equation makes its appearance in many different branches of physics. As a Boson quantum field theory in one-time and one-space dimension the sine Gordon model received great attention because of its close relation to the massive Thirring model, which is a Fermion theory [2].
