Abstract
The Bethe-ansatz equations for the thermodynamic properties of the quantum sine-Gordon systems are derived in the zero-charge-sector attractive case. For rational values of the coupling parameter these reduce to a finite set, solved here numerically for , for several values of , to give the specific heat as a function of temperature. The "soliton" contribution peaks at soliton masses for , shifting downward for higher . A detailed analysis of the sine-Gordon limit of the spin chain is presented, and a non-Lorentz-invariant feature of that limit is noted.
