Various soliton-obstruction systems have been studied from analytical perspective. We have used collective coordinate to approach the dynamics of solitons as they meet a potential obstruction in a form of square barriers and holes for three…
The Montonen-Sarker-Trullinger-Bishop (MSTB) model enjoys two classically degenerate kink solutions in the same topological sector. We construct the instanton that interpolates between them and argue that the two lowest lying Hamiltonian…
Instantons and their quantisation in pure Yang-Mills theory formulated in the background of de Sitter spacetime represented by spatially-closed ($k = 1$) Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric are discussed. As for the classical treatment of the…
We describe the (equivariant) intersection cohomology of certain moduli spaces ("framed Uhlenbeck spaces") together with some structures on them (such as e.g.\ the Poincar\'e pairing) in terms of representation theory of some vertex…
The (2+1)-dimension Klein-Gordon generalised equation is numerically solved through the finite differences method. Only the sine-Gordon case is focused: kink and antikink solutions are obtained in cartesian coordinates and evidence of…
We study U(r) instantons on elliptic surfaces with a section and show that they are in one-one correspondence with spectral data consisting of a curve in the dual elliptic surface and a line bundle on that curve. We use relative…
We find that for various solitonic processes the corresponding canonical moduli space can have a boundary which is accessible in a finite time evolution. We show that such a boundary is not a failure of the moduli space approach but has a…
We elaborate on the quantization of toric varieties by combining techniques from toric geometry, isospectral deformations and noncommutative geometry in braided monoidal categories, and the construction of instantons thereon by combining…
Explicit construction of the basic SU(2) anti-instantons over the multi-Taub--NUT geometry via the classical conformal rescaling method is exhibited. These anti-instantons satisfiy the so-called weak holonomy condition at infinity with…
The motion of a one-dimensional kink and its energy losses are considered as a model of interaction of nontrivial topological field configurations with external fields.
In this letter we demonstrate that the intersection form of the Hausel--Hunsicker--Mazzeo compactification of a four dimensional ALF gravitational instanton is definite and diagonalizable over the integers if one of the Kahler forms of the…
We introduce a quantum Minkowski space-time based on the quantum group SU(2)q extended by a degree operator and formulate a quantum version of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equation. We construct solutions of the quantum equations using the…
Using the BPS-protected higher derivative $R^4$-term as an exactly solvable example, we analyze which instanton corrections are generated by a one-loop Schwinger integral over the light towers of states that arise in infinite distance…
In this work, we study kink collisions in a scalar field model with scalar-kinetic coupling. This model supports kink/antikink solutions with inner structure in the energy density. The collision of two such kinks is simulated by using the…
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…
We investigate the dynamics of the kinks that emerge in a one-dimensional scalar field theory with an octic potential containing a quartic minimum and two quadratic minima. We show analytically that kink-antikink and kink-kink pairs…
The purposes of the present paper are two-fold. Firstly we further develop the interplay between the contact Hamiltonian geometry and the geometric analysis of Hamiltonian-perturbed contact instantons with the Legendrian boundary condition,…
An improved model for the soliton-potential interaction is presented. This model is constructed with a better approximation for adding the potential to the lagrangian through a space-time metric. The results of the model are compared with…
We consider odd symmetric (1+1)-scalar field models with one internal mode. Under natural and robust assumptions, including the Fermi golden rule, we prove the asymptotic stability of the kink by odd perturbations in the energy space. For…
In the present Chapter, we consider two prototypical Klein-Gordon models: the integrable sine-Gordon equation and the non-integrable $\phi^4$ model. We focus, in particular, on two of their prototypical solutions, namely the kink-like…
