Coleman's puzzles are solved: at θ=π with equal masses the model shows spontaneous charge conjugation breaking and no confinement with mass gap ~m exp(-0.111 g²/m²) at strong coupling; at θ=0 a level crossing occurs between isosinglet states; isospin-breaking effects are quantified for unequal mass.

abstract
We propose an explicit expression for vacuum expectation values of the exponential fields in the sine-Gordon model. Our expression agrees both with semi-classical results in the sine-Gordon theory and with perturbative calculations in the Massive Thirring model. We use this expression to make new predictions about the large-distance asymptotic form of the two-point correlation function in the XXZ spin chain.

The sine-Gordon model's finite-temperature correlation functions are evaluated non-perturbatively via the Method of Random Surfaces, with an exact formula derived for N-point functions obeying a selection rule.
Conjectures and numerically verifies a leading UV asymptotic formula for finite-volume vertex operator VEVs in the sine-Gordon model from kink NLIE, matching complex Liouville CFT results to 19 digits.

The two-flavor Schwinger model at 50: Solving Coleman's puzzles
Coleman's puzzles are solved: at θ=π with equal masses the model shows spontaneous charge conjugation breaking and no confinement with mass gap ~m exp(-0.111 g²/m²) at strong coupling; at θ=0 a level crossing occurs between isosinglet states; isospin-breaking effects are quantified for unequal mass.
