In this work, kinks with non-canonical kinetic energy terms are studied in a type of two-dimensional dilaton gravity model. The linear stability issue is generally discussed for arbitrary static solutions, and the stability criteria are…
We reconsider, in five-dimensional space-time, the issue of thick brane localized in the extra dimension by a kink formed by a scalar field. The localization is achieved by a sine-Gordon potential. Apart from a fundamental brane (discovered…
The sigma model with dilaton and axion is generalized by including in it a potential that is invariant under the global transformation of the dilaton shift. In the (1 + 1)-dimensional case, a soliton is constructed, which turned out to be…
An analysis of the solutions for the field equations of generalized scalar-tensor theories of gravitation is performed through the study of the geometry of the phase space and the stability of the solutions, with special interest in the…
We have obtained exact kink-like static plane-symmetric solutions to the self-consistent system of electromagnetic, scalar, and gravitational field equations. It was shown that under certain choice of the interaction Lagrangian the…
A non-abelian kink inducing asymptotically the breaking pattern $SU(5)\times Z_2\rightarrow SU(4)\times U(1)/Z_4$ is obtained. We consider a fourth order Higgs potential in a $1+1$ theory where the scalar field is in the adjoint…
By means of dynamical mean field theory calculations, it was recently discovered that kinks generically arise in strongly correlated systems, even in the absence of external bosonic degrees of freedoms such as phonons. However, the physical…
We consider a Dirac equation set on an extended spin space that contains fermion and boson solutions. At given dimension, it determines the scalar symmetries. The standard field equations can be equivalently written in terms of such degrees…
We show convexity of solutions to a class of convex variational problems in the Gauss and in the Wiener space. An important tool in the proof is a representation formula for integral functionals in this infinite dimensional setting, that…
We study a free scalar field $\phi$ in a fixed curved background spacetime subject to a higher derivative field equation of the form $F(\Box)\phi =0$, where $F$ is a polynomial of the form $F(\Box)= \prod_i (\Box-m_i^2)$ and all masses…
For most discretisations of the $\phi^4$ theory, the stationary kink can only be centered either on a lattice site or midway between two adjacent sites. We search for exceptional discretisations which allow stationary kinks to be centered…
The collective coordinates approximation for the kink/anti-kink scattering in the $1+1$ dimensional $\phi^4$ model is considered and we discuss how the results found in the current literature on the topic can be improved by giving the…
There are constructed exact solutions of the quantum-mechanical equation for a spin S=1 particle in 2-dimensional Riemannian space of constant negative curvature, hyperbolic plane, in presence of an external magnetic field, analogue of the…
We use a recently constructed linearized soliton sector perturbation theory to calculate the form factors relevant to the elastic scattering of ultrarelativistic mesons off of nonrelativistic kinks. Both localized kink wave packets and also…
In this work, we investigate probe scalar field models preserving covariance on fixed, static background geometries that present hyperscaling violation properties. We develop a first-order framework that rises from restrictions on the…
We observe some higher order Poincare-type inequalities on a closed manifold, which is inspired by Hurwitz's proof of the Wirtinger's inequality using Fourier theory. We then give some geometric implication of these inequalities by applying…
A basic theoretical framework is developed in which elementary particles have a component of their wave function extending into higher spatial dimensions. This model postulates an extension of the Schrodinger equation to include a 4th and…
We investigate a version of the abelian Higgs model with a non-standard kinetic term (K field theory) in 2+1 dimensions. The existence of vortex type solutions with compact support (topological compactons) is established by a combination of…
In the construction of a classical smoothed out brane world model in five dimensions, one uses a dynamically generated domain wall (a kink) to localise an effective four dimensional theory. At the level of the Euler-Lagrange equations the…
Inspired by the works in [1] and [8] we introduce what we call $k$-th-order fluctuation fields and study their scaling limits. This construction is done in the context of particle systems with the property of orthogonal self-duality. This…
