The O(3) sigma model in two spatial dimensions admits topological (Bogomol'nyi) lower bound on its energy. This paper proposes a lattice version of this system which maintains the Bogomol'nyi bound and allows the explicit construction of…
The Stuart-Landau oscillator generalized to $D > 2$ dimensions has SO($D$) rotational symmetry. We study the collective dynamics of a system of $K$ such oscillators of dimensions $D =$ 3 and 4, with coupling chosen to either preserve or…
The dynamical evolution of self-interacting scalars is of paramount importance in cosmological settings, and can teach us about the content of Einstein's equations. In flat space, nonlinear scalar field theories can give rise to localized,…
It is shown that a spin system is equivalent to a set of constrained harmonic oscillators. For finite, but large, systems, a continuous approximation to the density of states can be used, and the oscillator frequencies can be exactly…
Energy spectra of quasi-one-dimensional quantum rings with a few electrons are studied using several different theoretical methods. Discrete Hubbard models and continuum models are shown to give similar results governed by the special…
We extend a recent work by Mussardo and Penati on integrable quantum field theories with a single stable particle and an infinite number of unstable resonance states, including the presence of a boundary. The corresponding scattering and…
We consider the interplay between nonlocal nonlinearity and randomness for two different nonlinear Schr\"odinger models. We show that stability of bright solitons in presence of random perturbations increases dramatically with the…
Experiments on a chain of coupled pendula driven periodically at one end demonstrate the existence of a novel regime which produces an output frequency at an odd fraction of the driving frequency. The new stationary state is then obtained…
We study 2-to-2 scattering amplitudes of massless spin one particles in $d=4$ space-time dimensions, like real world photons. We define a set of non-perturbative observables (Wilson coefficients) which describe these amplitudes at low…
The apparent stability of population oscillations in ecological systems is a long-standing puzzle. A generic solution for this problem is suggested here. The stabilizing mechanism involves the combined effect of spatial migration,…
In pattern-forming systems, localized patterns are readily found when stable patterns exist at the same parameter values as the stable unpatterned state. Oscillons are spatially localized, time-periodic structures, which have been found…
In this work, we present a conditionally stable finite-difference scheme that consistently approximates the solution of a general class of (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear equations that generalizes in various ways the quantitative model…
We obtain localized field configurations with finite energy in a ($2+1$)-dimensional model with Maxwell and Chern-Simons gauge terms coupled to a massive complex scalar field. These non-topological solitons are characterized by the $U(1)$…
We analyze the dynamics of dissipation and relaxation in the unbroken and broken symmetry phases of scalar theory in the nonlinear regime for large initial energy densities, and after linear unstabilities (parametric or spinodal) are…
The semi-classical spectrum of the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories associated with an arbitrary compact simple Lie group G is obtained and shown to be entirely given by solitons. These theories describe quantum integrable massive…
The oscillation spectrum of a perturbed neutron star is intimately related to the physical properties of the star, such as the equation of state. Observing pulsating neutron stars therefore allows one to place constraints on these physical…
We study phase transitions and the nature of order in a class of classical generalized $O(N)$ nonlinear $\sigma$-models (NLS) constructed by minimally coupling pure NLS with additional degrees of freedom in the form of (i) Ising…
We show that the entanglement spectrum can be used to define non-local order in gapless spin systems. We find a gap that fully separates a series of generic, high `entanglement energy' levels, from a flat band of levels with specific…
Starting from the spectrum of the radially symmetric quantum harmonic oscillator in two dimensions, we create a large set of nonlinear solutions. The relevant three principal branches, with $n_r=0,1$ and 2 radial nodes respectively, are…
We discussed subspaces of the N=1 supersymmetric sine-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundaries through light-cone lattice regularization. In this paper, we showed, unlike the periodic boundary case, both of Neveu-Schwarz (NS) and Ramond (R)…
