In the ferromagnetic phase of the q-state Potts model, switching on an external magnetic field induces confinement of the domain wall excitations. For the Ising model (q = 2) the spectrum consists of kink-antikink states which are the…

A simple derivation of a meaningful, manifestly covariant inner product for real Klein-Gordon (KG) fields with positive semi-definite norm is provided which turns out - assuming a symmetric bilinear form - to be the real-KG-field limit of…
Noncommutative solitons are easier to find in a noncommutative field theory. Similarly, the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass of a noncommutative soliton are easier to compute, in a real scalar theory in 2+1 dimensions. We carry out…
The number state method is used to study soliton bands for three anharmonic quantum lattices: i) The discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, ii) The Ablowitz-Ladik system, and iii) A fermionic polaron model. Each of these systems is…
