This work deals with the presence of defect structures in models described by real scalar field in a diversity of scenarios. The defect structures which we consider are static solutions of the equations of motion which depend on a single…
In this work we study the presence of kinks in models described by a single real scalar field in bidimensional spacetime. We work within the first-order framework, and we show how to write first-order differential equations that solve the…
The paper is continuation of [6] where we have discussed some classical and quantization problems of rigid bodies of infinitesimal size moving in Riemannian spaces. Strictly speaking, we have considered oscillatory dynamical models on…
We investigate the presence of non-topological solutions of the Q-ball type in (1, 1) spacetime dimensions. The model engenders the global U(1) symmetry and is of the k-field type, since it contains a new term, of the fourth-order power in…
Oscillons are time-dependent, localized in space, extremely long-lived states in nonlinear scalar-field models, while kinks are topological solitons in one spatial dimension. In the present work, we show new classes of oscillons and…
In this work we report a new result that appears when one investigates the route that starts from a scalar field theory and ends on a supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The subject has been studied before in several distinct ways and here we…
We advocate that the dual picture of spacetime noncommutativity , i.e. the existence of a curved momentum space, could be a way out to solve some of the open conceptual problems in the field, such as the basis dependence of observables. In…
For decades, a lot of work has been devoted to the problem of constructing a non-trivial quantum field theory in four-dimensional space time. This letter addresses the attempts to construct an algebraic quantum field theory in the framework…
