We study numerically the kink-fermion interactions in a 1+1 dimensional toy model, which describes sine-Gordon kinks coupled to the massless Dirac fermions with backreaction. We show that the spectrum of fermionic modes strongly depends on…
This paper investigates a model containing $\phi^4$ kinks interacting with fermions. The fermion back-reaction is included in the equations of motion, which affects the kink-antikink collisions. We show that the fermion field generates a…
We investigate generalizations of the $\phi^4$ and sine-Gordon models, including interactions with Dirac Fermions. We observe new resonance phenomena by taking the fermion back-reaction into account. First, we show that the vibrational mode…
We study the back-reaction of fermion fields on the kink solution in one space and one time dimension. We employ a variational procedure to determine an upper limit for the minimum of the total energy. This energy has three contributions:…

We discuss a self-consistent solution for a fermion coupled to static scalar field in the form of a kink (domain wall). In particular, we study the case when the fermion occupies an excited non-zero frequency level in the presence of the…
We consider odd symmetric (1+1)-scalar field models with one internal mode. Under natural and robust assumptions, including the Fermi golden rule, we prove the asymptotic stability of the kink by odd perturbations in the energy space. For…
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 investigate some properties of a system of Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions, with a space dependent mass having domain wall like defects.These defects are defined by the loci of the points where the mass changes sign. In general, they…
We construct a fermion system in a multi-kink-antikink soliton background, and present in an explicit form all its trapped configurations (bound state solutions) as well as scattering states. This is achieved by exploiting an exotic N=4…
When fermions interact with a topological soliton, they localize on the soliton. In studies of such systems, solitons are often treated as fixed background fields, and the backreaction due to the fermion localization is usually neglected…
We study effects of backreaction of the fermionic modes localized by the baby Skyrmion in the (2+1)-dimensional Skyrme model. It is shown that there is a tower of fermionic modes of two different types, localized by the soliton, however…
We consider non-topological, "bell-shaped" localized and regular solutions available in some 1+1 dimensional scalar field theories. Several properties of such solutions are studied, namely their stability and the occurence of fermion bound…
We find solutions to the 1+1 dimensional scalar-only linear sigma model. A new method is used to compute 1-fermion loop contributions exactly and agreement with published results employing other methods is excellent. A renormalization…
The radiation from oscillating kink in (1+1) dimensional relativistic $\phi^4$ model is considered. Both analytical and numerical approaches are presented and the comparison between these methods is discussed. Acceleration of the kink in…
We consider a five dimensional AdS warped spacetime in presence of a massive scalar field in the bulk. The scalar field potential fulfills the requirement of modulus stabilization even when the effect of backreaction of the stabilizing…
In this paper we study Jackiw-Rebbi model, in which a massless fermion is coupled to the kink of $\lambda \phi^4$ theory through a Yukawa interaction. In the original Jackiw-Rebbi model the soliton is prescribed. However, we are interested…
The localization of chiral fermionic zero modes in scalar field backgrounds with domain wall structure is a central mechanism in brane-world scenarios. We investigate this mechanism in a system that provides an effective realization of the…
The scattering of Dirac fermions on the sine-Gordon kink is studied both analytically and numerically. To achieve invariance with respect to a discrete symmetry, the sine-Gordon model is treated as a nonlinear $\sigma$-model with a circular…
In this work we investigate the issue of gravity and fermion localization and resonances in $(4,1)$-branes constructed with one scalar field coupled with gravity in deformed models. Such models give solutions for the scalar field that is…
