We continue the analysis started in a recent paper of the large-N two-dimensional ℂℙ N−1 sigma model, defined on a finite space interval L with Dirichlet (or Neumann) boundary conditions. Here we focus our attention on the problem of the renormalized energy density ℰ (x, Λ, L) which is found to be a sum of two terms, a constant term coming from the sum over modes, and a term proportional to the mass gap. The approach to ℰ(x,Λ,L)→N4πΛ2 at large LΛ is shown, both analytically and numerically, to be exponential: no power corrections are present and in particular no Lüscher term appears. This is consistent with the earlier result which states that the system has a unique massive phase, which interpolates smoothly between the classical weakly-coupled limit for LΛ → 0 and the “confined” phase of the standard ℂℙ N−1 model in two dimensions for LΛ → ∞.
