At leading order, there are three inelastic scattering processes beginning with a quantum kink and a fundamental meson. Meson multiplication, in which the final state is a kink and two mesons, was treated recently. In this note we treat the…
The form factor for gamma pi^+ -> pi^+ pi^0 was calculated in a simple-minded constituent model with a constant quark mass parameter, as well as in the Schwinger-Dyson approach. The comparative discussion of these and various other…

At one loop, quantum kinks are described by a free theory. The nonlinearity and so the interesting phenomenology arrives at two loops, where, for example, internal excitations couple to continuum excitations. We calculate the two-loop mass…
Using the methods of the 'form factor program' exact expressions of all matrix elements are obtained for several operators of the quantum sine-Gordon model alias the massive Thirring model. A general formula is presented which provides form…

The behaviour of the pion transition form factor for the process $\gamma^\star\gamma \to \pi^0$ and $\gamma^\star\gamma^\star\to \pi^0$ at space-like values of photon momenta is estimated within the nonlocal covariant quark-meson model. The…
The study of kink interactions in nonlinear Klein-Gordon models in $1+1$-dimensions has a time-honored history. Until a few years ago, it was arguably considered a fairly mature field whose main phenomenology was well understood both…

There is a series of scalar models possessing reflectionless kinks whose linear perturbations are described by a P\"oschl-Teller potential at integer level $\sigma$. The cases $\sigma=1$ and $2$ are the well-known Sine-Gordon and $\phi^4$…
We present the first calculation of the pion electromagnetic form factor at physical light quark masses. This form factor parameterises the deviations from the behaviour of a point-like particle when a photon hits the pion. These deviations…
Calculations of quantum corrections to soliton masses generally require both the vacuum sector and the soliton sector to be regularized. The finite part of the quantum correction depends on the assumed relation between these regulators when…

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…
