The lambda-phi4 kink is linearly and topologically stable. We study how extra energy perturbations are dissipated beyond the linear regime. We found that depending on the width, amplitude and energy of a Gaussian perturbation different…
A spatially discrete version of the general kink-bearing nonlinear Klein-Gordon model in (1+1) dimensions is constructed which preserves the topological lower bound on kink energy. It is proved that, provided the lattice spacing h is…
We study the $\phi^{6}$ model and derive two broad classes of lattice discretizations that admit static, translationally invariant kinks; that is, stationary kink profiles that can be centered at an arbitrary position relative to the…
We borrow the form of potential of the well-known kink-bearing $\varphi^4$ system in the range between its two vacua and paste it repeatedly into the other ranges to introduce the periodic $\varphi^4$ system. The paper is devoted to…
The static kink, sphaleron and kink chain solutions for a single scalar field $\phi$ in one spatial dimension are reconsidered. By integration of the Euler--Lagrange equation, or through the Bogomolny argument, one finds that each of these…
The Casimir energy of quantum fluctuations about the classical kink configuration is computed numerically for a recently proposed lattice sine-Gordon model. This energy depends periodically on the kink position and is found to be…
We prove the existence and we study the stability of the kink-like fixed points in a simple Coupled Map Lattice for which the local dynamics has two stable fixed points. The condition for the existence allows us to define a critical value…
We investigate the existence and properties of kink-like solitons in a class of models with two interacting scalar fields. In particular, we focus on models that display both double and single-kink solutions, treatable analytically using…
In this paper we show that in field theories with topologically stable kinks and flat directions in their potential, a so-called dynamical vacuum selection (DVS) takes place in the non-trivial, soliton sector of the theory. We explore this…
We prove the existence of multi-soliton and kink-multi-soliton solutions of the Euler-Korteweg system in dimension one. Such solutions behaves asymptotically in time like several traveling waves far away from each other. A kink is a…
We study equivariant wave maps from the $2+1$ dimensional wormhole to the 2-sphere. This model has explicit harmonic map solutions which, in suitable coordinates, have the form of the sine-Gordon kinks/anti-kinks. We conjecture that there…
The stability of current sheets in collisionless relativistic pair plasma was studied via two-dimensional two-fluid relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations with vanishing internal friction between fluids. In particular, we investigated…
As a low-energy effective model emerging in disparate fields throughout all of physics, the ubiquitous $\varphi^4$-theory is one of the central models of modern theoretical physics. Its topological defects, or kinks, describe stable,…
We study the stability/instability of the subsonic travelling waves of the Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation in dimension one. Our aim is to propose several methods for showing instability (use of the Grillakis-Shatah-Strauss theory, proof…
In a scalar field theory with a symmetric octic potential having a quartic minimum and two quadratic minima, kink solutions have long-range tails. We calculate the force between two kinks and between a kink and an antikink when their…
We explore a class of $\phi^{4n}$ models with kink and antikink solutions that have long-range tails on both sides, specializing to the cases with $n=2$ and $n=3$. A recently developed method of an accelerating kink ansatz is used to…
We consider a rational scalar field model in (1+1)-dimensions where the long-range character of the kinks is controllable. We show via numerical simulations that kinks with long-range tails on both sides can exhibit resonance windows. The…
We consider a system of two coupled non-linear Klein-Gordon equations. We show the existence of standing waves solutions and the existence of a Lyapunov function for the ground state.
Multi-kink solutions of the defocusing, modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV) found by Grosse are shown to be globally $H^1$-stable. Stability in the one-kink case was previously established by Zhidkov, and Merle-Vega. The proof uses…
The soliton resolution conjecture states that solutions to solitonic equations with generic initial data should, after some non--linear behaviour, eventually resolve into a finite number of solitons plus a radiative term. This conjecture is…
