Abstract

It is shown that the nontopological bubble-shaped classical solutions which are possible in a scalar field theory with quartic and sextic self-interactions in 1 + 1 dimensions are responsible for the discontinuous transition in the quantum problem between a phase with a degenerate excited level and a disordered one.
