Previously known exactly solvable models of 2D semiclassical dilaton gravity admit, in the general case, only non-extreme black holes. It is shown that there exist exceptional degenerate cases, that can be obtained by some limiting…
In this work we find static black hole solutions in the context of the two-dimensional dilaton gravity, which is modified by the addition of an $R^2$ term. This term arises from the one-loop effective action of a massive scalar field in its…
We consider a classical equation known as the $\phi^4$ model in one space dimension. The kink, defined by $H(x)=\tanh(x/{\sqrt{2}})$, is an explicit stationary solution of this model. From a result of Henry, Perez and Wreszinski it is known…
We study generic Einstein-Maxwell-Kalb-Ramond-dilaton actions, and derive conditions under which they give rise to static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions. We obtain new asymptotically flat and non-flat black hole solutions which…

We review the generalized Witten-Nester spinor stability argument for flat domain wall solutions of gravitational theories. Neither the field theory nor the solution need be supersymmetric. Nor is the space-time dimension restricted. We…
We present a method for generating solutions in some scalar-tensor theories with a minimally coupled massless scalar field or irrotational stiff perfect fluid as a source. The method is based on the group of symmetries of the dilaton-matter…
We consider the Einstein-Dirac field equations describing a self-gravitating massive neutrino, looking for axially-symmetric exact solutions; in the search of general solutions, we find some that are specific and which have critical…
At one loop, quantum kinks are described by a sum of quantum harmonic oscillator Hamiltonians, and the ground state is just the product of the oscillator ground states. Two-loop kink masses are only known in integrable and supersymmetric…
We present an analytic study of the finite size effects in Sine--Gordon model, based on the semiclassical quantization of an appropriate kink background defined on a cylindrical geometry. The quasi--periodic kink is realized as an elliptic…
Recently, models of two-dimensional dilaton gravity have been shown to admit classical black-hole solutions that exhibit Hawking radiation at the semi-classical level. These classical and semi-classical analyses have been performed in…
We construct a two-dimensional action that is an extension of spherically symmetric Einstein-Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. The action contains arbitrary functions of the areal radius and the norm squared of its gradient, but the field equations…
We study an example of higher-order field-theoretic model with an eighth-degree polynomial potential -- the $\varphi^8$ model. We show that for some certain ratios of constants of the potential, the problem of finding kink-type solutions in…
We initiate the study of the asymptotic behavior of small solutions to one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equations with variable coefficient quadratic nonlinearities. The main discovery in this work is a striking resonant interaction between…
In classical two-dimensional pure dilaton gravity, and in particular in spherically symmetric pure gravity in d dimensions, the generalized Birkhoff theorem states that, for a suitable choice of coordinates, the metric coefficients are only…
In this paper, we first use semi-classical methods to study quantum field theoretical aspects of the integrable noncommutative sine-Gordon model proposed in [hep-th/0406065]. In particular, we examine the fluctuations at quadratic order…

We investigate a model of two-dimensional gravity with arbitrary scalar potential obtained by gauging a deformation of de Sitter or more general algebras, which accounts for the existence of an invariant energy scale. We obtain explicit…
Dynamics of sine-Gordon kinks in the presence of rapidly varying periodic perturbations of different physical origins is described analytically and numerically. The analytical approach is based on asymptotic expansions, and it allows to…
