Supersymmetric domain-wall spacetimes that lift to Ricci-flat solutions of M-theory admit generalized Heisenberg (2-step nilpotent) isometry groups. These metrics may be obtained from known cohomogeneity one metrics of special holonomy by…
Plane symmetric perturbations are applied to an axially symmetric Kasner spacetime which leads to no momentum flow orthogonal to the planes of symmetry. This flow appears laminar and the structure can be interpreted as a domain wall. We…
We consider the Grand Unified SU(5) model with a small or vanishing cubic term in the adjoint scalar field in the potential. This gives the model an approximate or exact Z$_2$ symmetry whose breaking leads to domain walls. The simplest…

We solve vacuum Einstein's field equations with the cosmological constant in space-times admitting 3-parameter group of isometries with 2-dimensional space-like orbits. The general exact solutions, which are represented in the advanced and…
We present a general proof on the equivalence of the comoving-coordinate approach, where the wall is fixed at a constant coordinate variable, and moving-wall approach, where the wall is moving in a background static space-time, in the…
We study domain wall solutions of a real spinor field coupling with gravitation in five dimensions. We find that the nonlinear spinor field supports a class of soliton configurations which could be viewed as a wall embedded in five…
I describe domain walls and domain wall lattices in non-Abelian models.
We analyse the distributional thin wall limit of self gravitating scalar field configurations representing thick domain wall geometries. We show that thick wall solutions can be generated by appropiate scaling of the thin wall ones, and…
The Two Higgs Doublet Model predicts the emergence of 3 distinct domain wall solutions arising from the breaking of 3 accidental global symmetries, $Z_2$, CP1 and CP2, at the electroweak scale for specific choices of the model parameters.…
We consider BPS domain walls in the four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric models with continuous global symmetry. Since the BPS equation is covariant under the global transformation, the solutions of the BPS walls also have the global…
We address a simple model allowing the existence of domain walls with orientational moduli localized on them. Within this model, we discuss an analytic solution and explore it in the context of previously known results. We discuss the…
The Geometry of planar domain walls is studied. It is argued that the planar walls indeed have plane symmetry. In the Minkowski coordinates the walls are mapped into revolution paraboloids.
In supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories (SYM) tension-degenerate domain walls are typical. Adding matter fields in fundamental representation we arrive at supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) supporting similar walls. We demonstrate that the degenerate…
We demonstrate the possibility of creating domain walls described by a single component Gross-Pitaevskii equation with attractive interaction, in the presence of an optical-lattice potential. While it is found that the extended domain wall…
We propose a framework to construct "Domain-Wall Standard Model" in a non compact 5-dimensional space-time, where all the Standard Model (SM) fields are localized in certain domains of the 5th dimension and the SM is realized as a…
