Oscillons are time-dependent, localized in space, extremely long-lived states in nonlinear scalar-field models, while kinks are topological solitons in one spatial dimension. In the present work, we show new classes of oscillons and…
We first discuss how the longstanding confusion in the literature concerning one-loop quantum corrections to 1+1 dimensional solitons has finally been resolved. Then we use 't Hooft and Veltman's dimensional regularization to compute the…
We study spherically symmetric soliton solutions in a model with a conformally coupled scalar field as well as in full conformal gravity. We observe that a new type of limiting behaviour appears for particular choices of the self-coupling…
We consider a family of field-theoretic models with a real scalar field in (1+1)-dimensional space-time. The field dynamics in each model is determined by a polynomial potential with two degenerate minima. We obtain exact general formulas…

The first quantum mass corrections for the solitons of complex $sl(n)$ affine Toda field theory are calculated. The corrections are real and preserve the classical mass ratios. The formalism also proves that the solitons are classically…

We study soliton solutions in scalar field theory with a variety of unbounded potentials. A subset of these potentials have Gaussian lump solutions and their fluctuation spectrum is governed by the harmonic oscillator problem. These lumps…
We study the solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation for the massive scalar field in the universal covering space of two-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. For certain values of the mass parameter, we impose a suitable set of boundary…
Behaviour of a weekly self-interacting scalar field with a small mass in the de Sitter background is investigated using the stochastic approach (including the case of a double-well interaction potential). Existence of the de Sitter…
We compute the renormalized one-loop quantum corrections to the energy density $T_{00}(x)$ and pressure $T_{11}(x)$ for solitons in the $1+1$ dimensional scalar sine-Gordon and kink models. We show how precise implementation of counterterms…
We study here the spectrum of soliton scattering theories based on interaction round the face lattice models. We take for the admissibility condition the fusion rules of each of the simple Lie algebras. It is found that the mass spectrum is…
Quantum kinks in gauge theories on $R^2\otimes S^1$ space-time are studied. To obtain the, explicit profile of the kinks, we calculated effective actions including derivative corrections for vacuum gauge fields on $S^1$ at zero, and finite…
We apply the method of collective coordinate quantization to a model of solitons in two spacetime dimensions with a global $U(1)$ symmetry. In particular we consider the dynamics of the charged states associated with rotational excitations…

In a classical, quartic field theory with $SU(N) \times Z_2$ symmetry, a class of kink solutions can be found analytically for one special choice of parameters. We construct these solutions and determine their energies. In the limit $N\to…
We propose a new approach to compute correlators of quantum fields in de Sitter space. It is based on nonequilibrium field theory techniques, and exploits de Sitter symmetries so as to partially reduce the number of independent variables of…
