We study collisions of coherent structures in higher-order field-theoretic models, such as the $\phi^8$, $\phi^{10}$ and $\phi^{12}$ ones. The main distinguishing feature, of the example models considered herein, is that the collision…
We consider a two-dimensional Lorentz-invariant field model with a $\phi^{4}$ potential modified by a term that introduces asymmetries at the manifold space. In this framework, the model recovers its original symmetry only when $p=0$. The…
We borrow the form of potential of the well-known kink-bearing $\varphi^4$ system in the range between its two vacua and paste it repeatedly into the other ranges to introduce the periodic $\varphi^4$ system. The paper is devoted to…
We studied the kink-antikink collision process for the "double sine-Gordon" (DSG) equation in 1+1 dimensions at different values of the potential parameter $R>0$. For small values of $R$ we discuss the problem of resonance frequencies. We…
This dissertation discusses solutions to the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with symmetric and asymmetric double-well potentials, focusing on the collapse and collision of bubbles and critical phenomena found therein. A new method is…
We construct a modified non-BPS sine-Gordon theory which supports stable static kinks of arbitrary topological degree $N$. We use this toy model to study problems which are interesting for higher-dimensional soliton theories supporting…
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…
We study the elasticity of the collision of two kinks with an incoming low speed $v\in (0,1)$ for the nonlinear wave equation in dimension $1+1$ known as the $\phi^{6}$ model. We prove for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ that if the incoming speed $v$…
The study of kink interactions in nonlinear Klein-Gordon models in $1+1$-dimensions has a time-honored history. Until a few years ago, it was arguably considered a fairly mature field whose main phenomenology was well understood both…
We have studied the space-reflection symmetries of some soliton solutions of deformed sine-Gordon models in the context of the quasi-integrability concept. Considering a dual pair of anomalous Lax representations of the deformed model we…
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…
In this paper, we present topological defects in $(1,1)$ dimensions, described by an extended nonlinear $O(3)$ sigma model. We consider spherical coordinates $(\phi,\chi)$ in the $S^2$ isotopic space and a potential $V(\phi,\chi)$. For…
We study kink-antikink collisions in the one-dimensional non-integrable scalar phi^6 model. Although the single-kink solutions for this model do not possess an internal vibrational mode, our simulations reveal a resonant scattering…
In this work we study a model of interaction of kinks of the sine-Gordon equation with a weak defect. We obtain rigorous results concerning the so-called critical velocity derived in [7] by a geometric approach. More specifically, we prove…
We study the kink-antikink scattering within the double sine-Gordon model. In the numerical simulations we found a critical value $v_{cr}$ of the initial velocity $v_{in}$, which separates two different scenarios: at $v_{in}<v_{cr}$ the…
Evolution of sphalerons in a class of quartic Klein-Gordon models are studied under a growing perturbation. Sphalerons are unstable lump-like solutions that arise from a saddle point between true and false vacua in the energy functional.…
We explore a class of $\phi^{4n}$ models with kink and antikink solutions that have long-range tails on both sides, specializing to the cases with $n=2$ and $n=3$. A recently developed method of an accelerating kink ansatz is used to…
We will study the Klein-Gordon's field with an homogeneous external potential, which does not depend on $\h$. We will construct the Fock's space corresponding to our problem and we will see that there are phenomena of creation and…
In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation on a metric star graph with three semi-infinite bonds. At the branching point, we impose a weighted continuity condition and a generalized weighted Kirchhoff condition for…
We demonstrate numerically that an oscillation mode in 1+1 dimensions (eg a breather or an oscillon) can decay into a kink-antikink pair by a sudden distortion of the evolution potential which occurs within a certain time or space domain.…
