We present an analytical and numerical study of the Klein-Gordon kink-soliton dynamics in inhomogeneous media. In particular, we study an external field that is almost constant for the whole system but that changes its sign at the center of…

We study the $\lambda\phi^4_{1+1}$ kink solion and the zero-mode contribution to the Kink soliton mass in regions beyond the semiclassical regime. The calculations are done in the non-trivial scaling region and where appropriate the results…

We study collisions of coherent structures in higher-order field-theoretic models, such as the $\phi^8$, $\phi^{10}$ and $\phi^{12}$ ones. The main distinguishing feature, of the example models considered herein, is that the collision…

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…

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…

The scattering of kinks and low-frequency breathers of the nonlinear sine-Gordon (SG) equation on a spatially localized $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric perturbation (defect) with a balanced gain and loss is investigated numerically. It is…

We consider a two-dimensional Lorentz-invariant field model with a $\phi^{4}$ potential modified by a term that introduces asymmetries at the manifold space. In this framework, the model recovers its original symmetry only when $p=0$. The…

The topological defects of the lambda phi^4 theory, kink and antikink, are studied in the Hartree approximation. This allows us to discuss quantum effects on the defects in both stationary and dynamical systems. The kink mass is calculated…

The wobbling kink is the soliton of the $\phi^4$ model with an excited internal mode. We outline an asymptotic construction of this particle-like solution that takes into account the coexistence of several space and time scales. The…

The sine-Gordon model with space- and time-dependent parameters is considered. A highly accurate effective model with two degrees of freedom is constructed, allowing the description of the kink movement in this model even for extremely long…

We investigate the role that quasinormal modes can play in kink-antikink collisions, via an example based on a perturbation of the $\phi^4$ model. We find that narrow quasinormal modes can store energy during collision processes and return…
