We clarify elementary excitations in the $\Delta$-chain. They are found to be `kink'-`antikink' type domain wall excitations to the dimer singlet ground state. The characters of a kink and an antikink are quite different in this system: a…

The amplitude of oscillations of the freely wobbling kink in the $\phi^4$ theory decays due to the emission of second-harmonic radiation. We study the compensation of these radiation losses (as well as additional dissipative losses) by the…

We investigate the propagation of fronts in an inhomogeneous medium within the framework of the $\phi^4$ model. The inhomogeneity is modeled either as an interface separating regions with different dissipation or as a finite layer with…

We study kink-antikink scattering in the sine-Gordon model in the presence of interactions with an additional scalar field, $\psi$, that is in its quantum vacuum. In contrast to the classical scattering, now there is quantum radiation of…

The dynamics of a wobbling kink in a two-component coupled $\phi^4$ scalar field theory (with an excited orthogonal shape mode) is addressed. For this purpose, the vibration spectrum of the second order small kink fluctuation is studied in…
