We consider a classical equation known as the $\phi^4$ model in one space dimension. The kink, defined by $H(x)=\tanh(x/{\sqrt{2}})$, is an explicit stationary solution of this model. From a result of Henry, Perez and Wreszinski it is known…

The Fourth order $\phi^4$ model generalizes the classical $\phi^4$ model of quantum field theory, sharing the same kink solution. It is also the dispersive counterpart of the well-known parabolic Cahn-Hilliard equation. Mathematically…

We consider the $\phi^4$ model in one space dimension with propagation speeds that are small deviations from a constant function. In the constant-speed case, a stationary solution called the kink is known explicitly, and the recent work of…

In the present work we construct kink solutions for different (parabolic and wave) variants of the fractional $\phi^4$ model, in both the sub-Laplacian and super-Laplacian setting. We establish existence and monotonicity results (for the…

The soliton resolution conjecture states that solutions to solitonic equations with generic initial data should, after some non--linear behaviour, eventually resolve into a finite number of solitons plus a radiative term. This conjecture is…

We explore a {\phi}^4 model with an added external parabolic potential term. This term dramatically alters the spectral properties of the system. We identify single and multiple kink solutions and examine their stability features;…

The wobbling kink is the soliton of the $\phi^4$ model with an excited internal mode. We outline an asymptotic construction of this particle-like solution that takes into account the coexistence of several space and time scales. The…

As a low-energy effective model emerging in disparate fields throughout all of physics, the ubiquitous $\varphi^4$-theory is one of the central models of modern theoretical physics. Its topological defects, or kinks, describe stable,…

We consider odd symmetric (1+1)-scalar field models with one internal mode. Under natural and robust assumptions, including the Fermi golden rule, we prove the asymptotic stability of the kink by odd perturbations in the energy space. For…

A discrete phi^4 system is proposed which preserves the topological lower bound on the kink energy. Existence of static kink solutions saturating this lower bound and occupying any position relative to the lattice is proved. Consequently,…

The radiation from oscillating kink in (1+1) dimensional relativistic $\phi^4$ model is considered. Both analytical and numerical approaches are presented and the comparison between these methods is discussed. Acceleration of the kink in…

We review recent works on modeling of dynamics of kinks in 1+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ theory and other related models, like sine-Gordon model or $\phi^6$ theory. We discuss how the spectral structure of small perturbations can affect the…

In this work we consider a model where the potential has two topological sectors connecting three adjacent minima, as occurs with the $\phi^6$ model. In each topological sector, the potential is symmetric around the local maximum. For…

Kink-antikink scattering in the $\phi^4$ model is investigated in the limit when the static inter-soliton force vanishes. We observe the formation of spectral walls and, further, identify a new phenomenon, the vacuum wall, whose existence…

We study the equilibria of a self-gravitating scalar field in the region outside a reflecting barrier. By introducing a potential difference between the barrier and infinity, we create a kink which cannot decay to a zero energy state. In…

Extending a recent effective theory formulation for the dynamics of kinks in the sine-Gordon model [1], we propose an analogous effective description of $\phi^4$ kinks. Three different reduced models based on the kink position, width and…
