Abstract

We find infinitely many soliton-like solutions in a deformation of the sine-Gordon theory in (d+1)(d+1)-dimensional AdSd+1AdS_{d+1} (anti-de Sitter) spacetime for d2d \geq 2, as well as single solitonic solutions in dSd+1dS_{d+1} (de Sitter) and Hd+1\mathrm{H}{d+1} (Lobachevsky) spaces for d1d \geq 1 and in AdS2AdS_2. We also find a deformation of the kink solution in scalar field theory with a polynomial potential in AdS2AdS_2. 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 AdSd+1AdS{d+1}, d2d\geq 2 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 AdSd+1AdS_{d+1}, d2d \geq 2 that do not have a flat space limit.
