We study the elastic response of a worm-like polymer chain with reversible kink-like structural defects. This is a generic model for (a) the double-stranded DNA with sharp bends induced by binding of certain proteins, and (b) effects of…
Quantum field theories on noncommutative Minkowski space are studied in a model-independent setting by treating the noncommutativity as a deformation of quantum field theories on commutative space. Starting from an arbitrary Wightman…
We present a dynamical picture of kink-anti-kink scattering in a pair of special, Frankensteinian potentials made of piece-wise quadratic and linear pieces. Specifically, we focus on models that support kinks without skin and core regions.…
We consider a rational scalar field model in (1+1)-dimensions where the long-range character of the kinks is controllable. We show via numerical simulations that kinks with long-range tails on both sides can exhibit resonance windows. The…
Just as fermion zero modes can alter the degeneracy and quantum numbers of a soliton, fermion energies can affect the form and stability of a nontopological soliton. We discuss the kink in a two-dimensional linear sigma model, and show…
The frictional dynamics of interacting surfaces under forced translation are critically dependent on lattice commensurability. Performing experiments in a trapped-ion friction emulator, we observe two distinct structural and frictional…
We consider a dc-driven damped sine-Gordon model with a small nonlinear spatial-disorder term, onto which a sinusoidal modulation is superimposed. It describes, e.g., a weakly disordered system with a regular grain structure. We demonstrate…
A fluid droplet in general deforms, if subject to active driving, such as a finite slip velocity or active tractions on its interface. We show that these deformations and their dynamics can be computed analytically in a perturbation theory…
Several results in previous works, strongly depend on the exponential tail of the linkages' distribution in our adhesive models. The purpose of this paper is to weaken this hypothesis and to allow more fat tails for large ages. From the…
We study experimentally and theoretically the properties of structural defects (kink solitons) in two-dimensional ion Coulomb crystals. We show how different types of kink solitons with different physical properties can be realized, and…
Within the framework of McLaughlin-Scott perturbation theory the equation-of-motion of the dislocation kink in the pinning potential is linearized, assuming the simultaneous influence of ac and dc forces. Based on the equations derived, the…
We consider a family of multivariate distributions with heavy-tailed margins and the type I elliptical dependence structure. This class of risks is common in finance, insurance, environmental and biostatistic applications. We obtain the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of spherically symmetric solutions in the Skyrme model. We show that the relaxation to the degree-one soliton (called the Skyrmion) has a universal form of a superposition of two effects: exponentially…
We explore the dynamics of two atoms interacting with a cavity field via deformed operators. Properties of the asymptotic regularization of entanglement measures proving, for example, purity cost, regularized fidelity and accuracy of…
It is well known that the dynamics of a one-dimensional dissipative system driven by the Ginzburg-Landau free energy may be described in terms of interacting kinks: two neighbouring kinks at distance $\ell$ feel an attractive force…
We address the mechanics of an elastic ribbon subjected to twist and tensile load. Motivated by the classical work of Green and a recent experiment that discovered a plethora of morphological instabilities, we introduce a comprehensive…
We investigate a class of scalar field models which engender kink-like solutions in the presence of polynomial potentials that allows for modifications of the tails of the localized configurations. We introduce a parameter in the potential…
Molecular dynamic simulations are performed to investigate a long-time evolution of different type initial signals in nonlinear acoustic chains with realistic Exp-6 potential and with power ones. Finite number of long-lifetime kink-shaped…
Quantal systems are predicted to show a change-over from exponential decay to power law decay at very long times. Although most theoretical studies predict integer power-law exponents, recent measurements by Rothe et al. of decay…
Kink oscillations of coronal loops, i.e., standing kink waves, is one of the most studied dynamic phenomena in the solar corona. The oscillations are excited by impulsive energy releases, such as low coronal eruptions. Typical periods of…
