Abstract
The microscopic physics underlying the sine-Gordon equation in quasi-one-dimensional conductors and two dimensional layered structures is explored.
An interesting parallel between these two systems is discussed, and the quantum nature of the former, involving the time variable, is found to be equivalent to the second space dimension of the latter. The soliton spectrum of both are studied and the implications of these discrete states for real physical systems, with three-dimensional couplings, are developed.
