Comment on `One Loop Renormalization of Soliton Quantum Mass Corrections in 1+1 Dimensional Scalar Field Theory Models', In: Phys. Lett., B, 542, 2002, 282, hep-th/0206047]

We refute the claim that previous works on the one-loop quantum mass of solitons had incorrectly dropped a surface term from a partial integration. Rather, the paper quoted in the title contains a fallacious derivation with two compensating errors. We also remark that the $\phi^2\cos^2\ln(\phi^2)$ model considered in that paper does not have solitons at the quantum level because at two-loop order the degeneracy of the vacua is lifted. This may be remedied, however, by a supersymmetric extension
