In the present work we construct kink solutions for different (parabolic and wave) variants of the fractional $\phi^4$ model, in both the sub-Laplacian and super-Laplacian setting. We establish existence and monotonicity results (for the…

We review recent works on modeling of dynamics of kinks in 1+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ theory and other related models, like sine-Gordon model or $\phi^6$ theory. We discuss how the spectral structure of small perturbations can affect the…

To show that steadily propagating nonlinear waves in active matter can be driven internally, we develop a prototypical model of a topological kink moving with a constant supersonic speed. We use a model of a bi-stable mass-spring (FPU)…

We prove the asymptotic stability of standing kink for the nonlinear relativistic wave equations of the Ginzburg-Landau type in one space dimension: for any odd initial condition in a small neighborhood of the kink, the solution,…

We consider the $\phi^4$ model in one space dimension with propagation speeds that are small deviations from a constant function. In the constant-speed case, a stationary solution called the kink is known explicitly, and the recent work of…

The wobbling kink is the soliton of the $\phi^4$ model with an excited internal mode. We outline an asymptotic construction of this particle-like solution that takes into account the coexistence of several space and time scales. The…
