Discrete breathers, or intrinsic localized modes, are spatially localized, time--periodic, nonlinear excitations that can exist and propagate in systems of coupled dynamical units. Recently, some experiments show the sighting of a form of…
We study collision processes of moving breathers with the same frequency, traveling with opposite directions within a Klein-Gordon chain of oscillators. Two types of collisions have been analyzed: symmetric and non-symmetric, head-on…
The dynamics of a many-particle system are often modeled by mapping the Hamiltonian onto a Schr\"odinger equation. An alternative approach is to solve the Hamiltonian equations directly in a model space of many-body configurations. In a…

Quantum states of a discrete breather are studied in two ways. One method involves numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian, the other uses the path integral to examine correlations in the eigenstates. In both cases only the central…
We review the construction of ground states focusing on a real scalar field whose dynamics is ruled by the Klein-Gordon equation on a large class of static spacetimes. As in the analysis of the classical equations of motion, when enough…

We consider long time evolution of small solutions to general multispeed Klein-Gordon systems in 3+1 dimensions. We prove that such solutions are always global and scatter to a linear flow, thus extending previous partial results. The main…
Relying upon tools from the theory of integrable systems, we discuss the linear instability of the Kuznetsov-Ma breathers and the Akhmediev breathers of the focusing nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation. We use the Darboux transformation to…
