  We consider the massive Thirring model and establish pointwise long-time
behavior of its solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces. For soliton-free initial
data we can show that the solution converges to a linear solution modulo a
phase correction caused by the cubic nonlinearity. For initial data that
support finitely many solitons we obtain long-time behavior in the form of a
multi-soliton which in turn splits into a sum of localized solitons. This
phenomenon is known as soliton resolution. The methods we will is the nonlinear
steepest descent of Deift and Zhou and the paper also relies on recent progress
in the inverse scattering transform for the massive Thirring model.
