We investigate the role that quasinormal modes can play in kink-antikink collisions, via an example based on a perturbation of the $\phi^4$ model. We find that narrow quasinormal modes can store energy during collision processes and return…
There is a series of scalar models possessing reflectionless kinks whose linear perturbations are described by a P\"oschl-Teller potential at integer level $\sigma$. The cases $\sigma=1$ and $2$ are the well-known Sine-Gordon and $\phi^4$…

We consider kink-antikink collisions in the topological discrete sine-Gordon system. We find that the TDSG kink supports extra internal modes of vibration and this results in resonance effects of the kind seen for the continuum phi^4…
The two major effects observed in collisions of the continuum $\phi^4$ kinks are (i) the existence of critical collision velocity above which the kinks always emerge from the collision and (ii) the existence of the escape windows for…

We study linear and nonlinear stability of asymptotically AdS$_4$ solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory. After summarizing the set of static solutions we first examine thermodynamical stability in the grand canonical ensemble and the…
We investigate kink-antikink scattering in the $\lambda \phi^4$ model in the presence of an additional scalar field, $\psi$, that is in its quantum vacuum and interacts with $\phi$ via a $\xi \phi^2\psi^2$ term where $\xi$ is the coupling.…
We add to a kink, which is a 1 dimensional structure, two transversal directions. We then check its asymptotic stability with respect to compactly supported perturbations in 3D and a time evolution under a Nonlinear Wave Equation (NLW). The…
