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,…

In this paper we give explicit first order Lagrangian formulation for mixed symmetry tensor fields \Phi_{[\mu\nu],\alpha}, T_{[\mu\nu\alpha],\beta} and R_{[\mu\nu],[\alpha\beta]}. We show that such Lagrangians could be written in a very…

A first-order theory $T$ is a model-complete core theory if every first-order formula is equivalent modulo $T$ to an existential positive formula; the core companion of a theory $T$ is a model-complete core theory $S$ such that every model…

The bivariate difference field provides an algebraic framework for a sequence satisfying a recurrence of order two. Based on this, we focus on sequences satisfying a recurrence of higher order, and consider the multivariate difference…

We develop a first order formalism for constructing gravitational duals of conformal defects in a bottom up approach. Similarly as for the flat domain walls a single function specifies the solution completely. Using this formalism we…
We continue the program by investigating symmetric structures underlying features of the Standard Model. We then expand the symmetry to encompass translations before contraction. A field theory model emerges with the goal of replicating a…
In this work we investigate several models described by a single real scalar field with non-polynomial interactions, constructed to support topological solutions. We do this using the deformation procedure to introduce a function which…
