We consider an integrable conformally invariant two dimensional model associated to the affine Kac-Moody algebra SL(3). It possesses four scalar fields and six Dirac spinors. The theory does not possesses a local Lagrangian since the spinor…
Conditions of optimal (synchronized) collisions of any number of solitons and breathers are studied within the framework of the Gardner equation with positive cubic nonlinearity, which in the limits of small and large amplitudes tends to…
We pursue the question of multi-magnon dynamics, focusing on the simplest case of magnons moving on RxS2 and working at the semiclassical level. Through a Pohlmeyer reduction, the problem reduces to another well known integrable field…
We consider the novel nonlinear model in (1 + 1)-dimensions for Dirac spinors recently introduced by Alexeeva, Barashenkov, and Saxena [1] (ABS model), which admits an exact explicit solitary-wave (soliton for short) solution. The charge,…
In this work, we explore a prototypical example of a genuine continuum breather (i.e., not a standing wave) and the conditions under which it can persist in a $\mathcal{P T}$-symmetric medium. As our model of interest, we will explore the…
We present a general review of the dynamics of topological solitons in 1 and 2 dimensions and then discuss some recent work on the scattering of various solitonic objects (such as kinks and breathers etc) on potential obstructions.
We report a two-dimensional (2D) gravitating kink model, for which both the background field equations and the linear perturbation equation are exactly solvable. The background solution describes a sine-Gordon kink that interpolating…
We review spectral theory of soliton gases in integrable dispersive hydrodynamic systems. We first present a phenomenological approach based on the consideration of phase shifts in pairwise soliton collisions and leading to the kinetic…
In this paper, we study the long-time dynamics and stability properties of the sine-Gordon equation $$f_{tt}-f_{xx}+\sin f=0.$$ Firstly, we use the nonlinear steepest descent for Riemann-Hilbert problems to compute the long-time asymptotics…
In this article, we study kink soliton configurations in interacting scalar field theories containing two fields without $SO(2)$ invariance. We study a class of such theories, the well-known Montonen-Sarker-Trullinger-Bishop model is one of…
In this paper, we study the single kink and the kink-antikink collisions of a nonlinear beam equation bearing a fourth-derivative term. We numerically explore some of the key characteristics of the single kink both in its standing wave and…
We find infinitely many soliton-like solutions in a deformation of the sine-Gordon theory in $(d+1)$-dimensional $AdS_{d+1}$ (anti-de Sitter) spacetime for $d \geq 2$, as well as single solitonic solutions in $dS_{d+1}$ (de Sitter) and…
In this paper, we numerically study the scattering of kinks in the noncanonical sine-Gordon model using Fourier spectral methods. The model depends on two free parameters, which control the localized inner structure in the energy density…
In this paper we give a systematic and simple account that put in evidence that many breather solutions of integrable equations satisfy suitable variational elliptic equations, which also implies that the stability problem reduces in some…
This thesis is essentially organized in two parts: braneworlds and higher dimensional black objects with a cosmological constant. We present solitonic braneworld models where the brane are inflating and with the presence of a cosmological…
The Hirota transformation for the soliton solutions of the classical Sine-Gordon equation is suggestive of an extremely simple way for the construction of a nonlinear quantum-dynamical system of spin 1/2 particles that is equivalent to the…

By using different continuation methods, we unveil a wide region in the parameter space of the discrete cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, where several families of stable vortex solitons coexist. All these stationary solutions…
We propose a procedure for computing the direct scattering transform of the periodic sine-Gordon equation. This procedure, previously used within the periodic Korteweg-de Vries equation framework, is implemented for the case of the…
We investigate a mechanical system consisting of infinite number of harmonically coupled pendulums which can impact on two rigid rods. Because of gravitational force the system has two degenerate ground states. The related topological kink…
