Recently it has been pointed out that the skyrmions carry two independent topology, the baryon topology and the monopole topology. We provide more evidence to support this. In specific, we prove that the baryon number $B$ can be decomposed…
We show using computer simulations and mean field theory that a system of particles in two dimensions, when confined laterally by a pair of parallel hard walls within a quasi one dimensional channel, possesses several anomalous structural…
A fluid of Skyrmions coupled to the dilaton field and the $\o$ meson field is considered. A mean field theory is developed in which the dilaton and the $\o$ field acquire a mean value determined by the Skyrmions. The influence of the…
The analysis of domain wall dynamics is often simplified to one dimensional physics. For domain walls in thin films, more realistic approaches require the description as two dimensional objects. This includes the study of vortices and…
We construct domain-wall skyrmion chains and domain-wall bimerons in chiral magnets with an out-of-plane easy-axis anisotropy and without a Zeeman term coupling to a magnetic field. Domain-wall skyrmions are skyrmions trapped inside a…
We consider a planar gravitating thick domain wall of the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory as a spacetime with finite thickness glued to two vacuum spacetimes on each side of it. Darmois junction conditions written on the boundaries of the thick…
The baby Skyrme model is studied with a novel choice of potential, $V=1/2 \phi_3^2$. This "easy plane" potential vanishes at the equator of the target two-sphere. Hence, in contrast to previously studied cases, the boundary value of the…
Domain wall, wormhole, particlelike, and cosmic string general relativistic solutions supported by two interacting phantom or ordinary scalar fields with 4th-, 6th-, and 8th-order potentials are studied. Numerical calculations indicate that…
A class of domain-wall-like solutions of the Skyrme model is obtained analytically. They are described by the tangent hyperbolic function, which is a special limit of the Weierstrass $\wp$ function. The behavior of one of the two terms in…
The global behavior of scalar field cosmological models with very hard potential walls is investigated via the simple example of an exponentially steep potential well. It is found that the solutions exhibit a non-trivial oscillatory…
Domain walls of a discrete model of an anisotropic ferromagnet are studied. They can be described by sequences of two reversible mappings. Competition between the length scale of spatial structures and the lattice constant leads to a rich…
A magnetic skyrmion is a topological object consisting of an inner domain, an outer domain, and a wall that separates the two domains. The skyrmion size and wall width are two fundamental quantities of a skyrmion that depend sensitively on…
The present work is an extensive study of the viable stable solutions of chameleon scalar field models leading to possibilities of an accelerated expansion of the universe. It is found that for various combinations of the chameleon field…
We show that the spacetimes of domain wall solutions to the coupled Einstein-scalar field equations with a given scalar field potential fall into two classes, depending on whether or not reflection symmetry on the wall is imposed. Solutions…
Strong dynamical scaling violations exist in quenched two-dimensional systems with vector O(3) order parameters. These systems support non-singular topologically stable configurations (skyrmions). By tuning the stability of isolated…
We consider a model with two real scalar fields which admits phantom domain wall solutions. We investigate the structure and evolution of these phantom domain walls in an expanding homogeneous and isotropic universe. In particular, we show…
A lump (2D Skyrmion) can be constructed as a sine-Gordon kink (1D Skyrmion) inside a domain wall in the massive O(3) sigma model. In this paper, we discuss relations between Skyrmions in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. We first construct a…
Domain wall skyrmions are skyrmions trapped inside a domain wall. We investigate domain wall skyrmions in chiral magnets using a fully analytic approach. Treating the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction perturbatively, we construct the…
Localized static solutions of the 2D-O(3) model are investigated in a representation with the 3-vector field $\vec Phi$ split into the unit vector $\hat Phi$ and the modulus $\Phi$. As in the nonlinear version of the model this allows for…
We study the problem of existence of static spherically symmetric wormholes supported by the kink-like configuration of a scalar field. With this aim we consider a self-consistent, real, nonlinear, nonminimally coupled scalar field $\phi$…
