This paper proposes a fairly general new point of view on the question of asymptotic stability of (topological) solitons. Our approach is based on the use of the distorted Fourier transform at the nonlinear level; it does not rely on…
For theories formulated with a maximally symmetric momentum space we propose a general characterization for the description of interactions in terms of the isometry group of the momentum space. The well known cases of…
In this paper, we analyze kink-like analytical solutions in a real scalar theory with an arcsin dynamics inspired by the arcsin electrodynamics presented in Kruglov (2015). This analysis is done by means of the first-order formalism. This…
We study the equilibria of a self-gravitating scalar field in the region outside a reflecting barrier. By introducing a potential difference between the barrier and infinity, we create a kink which cannot decay to a zero energy state. In…

We investigated quantized modes of kinks in the phase space of superconducting gaps in a superconductor with multiple gaps. The kink is described by the sine-Gordon model in a two-gap superconductor and by the double sine-Gordon model in a…
We studied kink-antikink collisions in (1+1)-dimensional spacetime for all $Z_2$ symmetric $\phi^8$ models with four degenerate minima. Such a polynomial model has only one free parameter, allowing us to conduct an exhaustive analysis. We…
2D dilaton (super-)gravity contains a special class of solutions with constant dilaton, a kink-like solution connecting two of them was recently found in a specific model that corresponds to the KK reduced 3D Chern-Simons term. Here we…
We prove the stability of the one dimensional kink solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation under d-dimensional perturbations for d > 2. We also establish a novel scaling behavior of the large time asymptotics of the solution. The leading…
In this paper methods for deforming scalar field theories on Euclidean target spaces, in which new field theories are constructed so that solutions are known, are generalized to the context of Sigma models. In particular, deformations…

We investigate the presence of non-topological solutions of the Q-ball type in (1, 1) spacetime dimensions. The model engenders the global U(1) symmetry and is of the k-field type, since it contains a new term, of the fourth-order power in…
We study the Dirac--Klein-Gordon system in $1+2$ spacetime dimensions. We show global existence of the solutions, as well as sharp time decay and linear scattering. One key advance is that we provide the first asymptotic stability result…
