In this work we study the presence of kinks in models described by two real scalar fields in bi-dimensional space-time. We generate new two-field models, constructed from distinct but important one-field models, and we solve them with…

Some recent investigations of the thermal equilibrium properties of kinks in a $1+1$-dimensional, classical $\Phi^4$ field theory are reviewed. The distribution function, kink density, correlation function, and certain thermodynamic…

We studied kink-antikink collisions in (1+1)-dimensional spacetime for all $Z_2$ symmetric $\phi^8$ models with four degenerate minima. Such a polynomial model has only one free parameter, allowing us to conduct an exhaustive analysis. We…

A Rayleigh-Schr\"{o}dinger type of perturbation scheme is employed to study weakly interacting kinks and domain walls formed from two different real scalar fields $\chi$ and $\varphi$. An interaction potential $% V_{1}(\chi,\varphi)$ is…

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…
