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…

Various soliton-obstruction systems have been studied from analytical perspective. We have used collective coordinate to approach the dynamics of solitons as they meet a potential obstruction in a form of square barriers and holes for three…
We investigate the validity of collective coordinate approaximations to the scattering of solitons in several classes of models in (1+1) dimensional field theory models. We look at models which are deformations of the sine-Gordon (SG) or…
We study kink scattering processes in the (1+1)-dimensional $\varphi^6$ model in the framework of the collective coordinate approximation. We find critical values of the initial velocities of the colliding kinks. These critical velocities…
Antikink-kink ( $\bar{\rm K} $$ {\rm K}$) collisions in the $\phi^6$ model exhibit resonant scattering although the $\phi^6$ kinks do not support any bound states to which energy could be transferred. In Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011) 091602…
We present a collective coordinate approximation to model the dynamics of two interacting nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) solitons. We discuss the accuracy of this approximation by comparing our results to those of the full numerical…
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…
We study the scattering processes of kink-antikink and kink-kink pairs in a field theory model with non-differentiable potential at its minima. The kink-antikink scattering includes cases of capture and escape of the soliton pair separated…
We study topological kinks and their interactions in a family of scalar field models with a double well potential parametrized by the mass of small perturbations around the vacua, ranging from the mass of the $\phi^4$ Klein-Gordon model all…
In this work we consider a model where the potential has two topological sectors connecting three adjacent minima, as occurs with the $\phi^6$ model. In each topological sector, the potential is symmetric around the local maximum. For…
We analyze the perturbative Relativistic Moduli Space approach, where the amplitudes of the Derrick modes are promoted to collective coordinates. In particular, we analyse the possibility to calculate the critical velocity, i.e., the…
The fractal velocity pattern in symmetric kink-antikink collisions in $\phi^4$ theory is shown to emerge from a dynamical model with two effective moduli, the kink-antikink separation and the internal shape mode amplitude. The shape mode…
The $CP^2$ model, with and without a generalized Hopf term, is studied using the collective coordinate approximation. In the spirit of this approximation, an ansatz is given which in previous numerical studies was seen to give a good…
We examine various recently proposed discretizations of the well-known $\phi^4$ field theory. We compare and contrast the properties of their fundamental solutions including the nature of their kink-type solitary waves and the spectral…
We apply the collective coordinate model framework to describe collisions of a kink and an antikink with nonzero total momentum, i.e., when the solitons possess different velocities. The minimal moduli space with only two coordinates (the…
Kink-antikink scattering in the $\phi^4$ model is investigated in the limit when the static inter-soliton force vanishes. We observe the formation of spectral walls and, further, identify a new phenomenon, the vacuum wall, whose existence…
In this work we study kink-antikink and antikink-kink collisions in hyperbolic models of fourth and sixth order. We compared the patterns of scattering with known results from polynomial models of the same order. The hyperbolic models…
In this paper, we explored a class of potentials with three minima that support kink solutions exhibiting one long-range tail. We analyzed antikink-kink interactions using an effective Lagrangian based on collective coordinates and compared…
