Changing shapes: adiabatic dynamics of composite solitary waves

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2009-11-10 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We discuss the solitary wave solutions of a particular two-component scalar field model in two-dimensional Minkowski space. These solitary waves involve one, two or four lumps of energy. The adiabatic motion of these composite non-linear non-dispersive waves points to variations in shape.
