In this paper the scattering between the non-topological kinks arising in a family of two-component scalar field theory models is analyzed. A winding charge is carried by these defects. As a consequence, two different classes of kink…

We calculate the leading order amplitude and probability for the elastic scattering of an elementary meson and a kink in the $\phi^4$ double-well model. Classically, the kink is reflectionless, and so the leading contribution arises at one…

We borrow the form of potential of the well-known kink-bearing $\varphi^4$ system in the range between its two vacua and paste it repeatedly into the other ranges to introduce the periodic $\varphi^4$ system. The paper is devoted to…

We analytically sum the leading bubble diagrams that contribute to the elastic scattering amplitude of a kink and a meson in the $\phi^4$ double-well model. We find a single peak, corresponding to the unstable kink state in which the shape…

For kink-antikink scattering within the \phi^4 non--linear field theory in one space and one time dimension resonance type configurations emerge when the relative velocity between kink and antikink falls below a critical value. It has been…

At leading order, there are three inelastic scattering processes beginning with a quantum kink and a fundamental meson. Meson multiplication, in which the final state is a kink and two mesons, was treated recently. In this note we treat the…

We explore a {\phi}^4 model with an added external parabolic potential term. This term dramatically alters the spectral properties of the system. We identify single and multiple kink solutions and examine their stability features;…

We consider the interaction of solitary waves in a model involving the well-known $\phi^4$ Klein-Gordon theory, but now bearing both Laplacian and biharmonic terms with different prefactors. As a result of the competition of the respective…
