Sine-Gordon solitons in AdS, dS and other hyperbolic spaces
Abstract
We find infinitely many soliton-like solutions in a deformation of the sine-Gordon theory in -dimensional (anti-de Sitter) spacetime for , as well as single solitonic solutions in (de Sitter) and (Lobachevsky) spaces for and in . We also find a deformation of the kink solution in scalar field theory with a polynomial potential in . The deformation of the sine-Gordon theory strikingly resembles the bosonic part of the flat-space supersymmetric sine-Gordon theory. In the infinite radius limit, single soliton solutions reduce to solitons in flat space. Meanwhile, the multisoliton solution of , for certain values of the parameters reduces in the same limit to a single soliton solution boosted in the normal direction. However, there are also multisoliton solutions in , that do not have a flat space limit.
