We consider (0+1) and (1+1) dimensional Yukawa theory in various scalar field backgrounds, which are solving classical equations of motion: $\ddot{\phi}_{cl} = 0$ or $\Box \phi_{cl} = 0$, correspondingly. The (0+1)--dimensional theory we…
The $f(R)$ theory of gravity can be expressed as a scalar tensor theory with a scalar degree of freedom $\phi$. By a conformal transformation, the action and its Gibbons-York-Hawking boundary term are written in the Einstein frame and the…
The process of equilibration in phi^4 theory is investigated for a homogeneous system in 3+1 dimensions and a variety of out-of-equilibrium initial conditions, both in the symmetric and broken phase, by means of the 2PI effective action.…
In many nonlinear field theories, relevant solutions may be found by reducing the order of the original Euler-Lagrange equations, e.g., to first order equations (Bogomolnyi equations, self-duality equations, etc.). Here we generalise,…

An alternative model to the trivial $\phi^4$-theory of the standard model of weak interactions is suggested, which embodies the Higgs-mechanism, but is free of the conceptual problems of standard $\phi ^4$-theory. We propose a N-component,…

We study a classical bilocal field theory perturbatively up to second order. The chosen theory is the simplest which incorporates action-at-a-distance, while keeping non-local effects short-ranged. We show that the new degrees of freedom…
Scalar-tensor theories have drawn the attention of cosmologist for the past few years because they can provide mechanism to explain the observable phenomena. Moreover, the results of scalar-tensor theories can be applied in higher-order…
The completeness of some classical statistical mechanical (SM) models is a recent result that has been developed by quantum formalism for the partition functions. In this paper, we consider a 2D classical $\phi^4$ filed theory whose…
The static kink, sphaleron and kink chain solutions for a single scalar field $\phi$ in one spatial dimension are reconsidered. By integration of the Euler--Lagrange equation, or through the Bogomolny argument, one finds that each of these…
Standard Model with a classical conformal invariance holds the promise to give a better understanding of the hierarchy problem and could pave the way for beyond the standard model physics. So, we give here a mathematical treatment of a…
We study the bounce and cyclicity realization in the framework of new gravitational scalar-tensor theories. In these theories the Lagrangian contains the Ricci scalar and its first and second derivatives, in a specific combination that…
Theory of massless scalar field $\phi$ with interaction $g \phi^3$ in six-dimensional space is considered. A possibility of initial scale invariance breaking, which results in a spontaneous arising of effective interaction $G \phi^4$, is…

We study a self-interacting scalar field theory coupled to gravity and are interested in spherically symmetric solutions with a regular origin surrounded by a horizon. For a scalar potential containing a barrier, and using the most general…
The bounce solutions of self-interacting scalar fields coupled to gravity are studied using a semi-classical approach. We found that bounce solutions have a maximum required barrier curvature, in addition to the known minimum required…
