Аннотация:A nonperturbative procedure for subtracting singularities caused by finite discontinuities of the field configurations is suggested. This procedure is applied to the Lorentz-covariant quantization of(1+1)-dimensional topological kinks. In the course of this procedure, “quantum copies” of a classical kink naturally appear. These copies have the same topological charge but have negligibly small sizes and masses because the subtraction procedure eliminates divergences caused by the field differentiations at the discontinuity points. These effects are investigated in detail for those(1+1)-dimensional scalar field models where classical kinks exist
