We compute the one-loop quantum corrections to the kink energies of the sinh-deformed $\phi^{4}$ and $\varphi^{6}$ models in one space and one time dimensions. These models are constructed from the well-known polynomial $\phi^{4}$ and…
We review recent works on modeling of dynamics of kinks in 1+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ theory and other related models, like sine-Gordon model or $\phi^6$ theory. We discuss how the spectral structure of small perturbations can affect the…
We study topological kinks and their interactions in a family of scalar field models with a double well potential parametrized by the mass of small perturbations around the vacua, ranging from the mass of the $\phi^4$ Klein-Gordon model all…
Motivated by studies of the Greenberg-Hastings cellular automata (GHCA) as a caricature of excitable systems, in this paper we study kink-antikink dynamics in the perhaps simplest PDE model of excitable media given by the scalar reaction…
We study kinks in the electronic dispersion of a generic strongly correlated system by dynamic mean-field theory (DMFT). The focus is on doped systems away from particle-hole symmetry where valence fluctuations matter potentially. Three…
We consider a family of field-theoretic models with a real scalar field in (1+1)-dimensional space-time. The field dynamics in each model is determined by a polynomial potential with two degenerate minima. We obtain exact general formulas…
In this work we consider model of asymmetric kinks, where the behavior of the solution in one side is different from the other side. Also, the models depend of an integer $n$ and, with the increase of $n$, the constructed kink assumes a…
This manuscript is the first of a series of two papers that study the problem of elasticity and stability of the collision of two kinks with low speed $v$ for the nonlinear wave equation known as the $\phi^{6}$ model in dimension $1+1$. In…
It is shown how a integrable mechanical system provides all the localized static solutions of a deformation of the linear O(N)-sigma model in two space-time dimensions. The proof is based on the Hamilton-Jacobi separability of the…
We explore a class of $\phi^{4n}$ models with kink and antikink solutions that have long-range tails on both sides, specializing to the cases with $n=2$ and $n=3$. A recently developed method of an accelerating kink ansatz is used to…
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…
The resonant interaction of the $\phi^4$ kink with a periodic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric perturbation is observed in the frame of the continuum model and with the help of a two degree of freedom collective variable model derived in PRA 89,…
The present work investigates several models of a single real scalar field, engendering kinetic term of the Dirac-Born-Infeld type. Such theories introduce nonlinearities to the kinetic part of the Lagrangian, which presents a square root…
We study kink-antikink collisions in a particular case of the double sine-Gordon model depending on only one parameter $r$. The scattering process of large kink-antikink shows the changing of the topological sector. For some parameter…
We study the dynamical response of a diatomic periodic chain of rotors coupled by springs, whose unit cell breaks spatial inversion symmetry. In the continuum description, we derive a nonlinear field theory which admits topological kinks…
We investigate the propagation of fronts in an inhomogeneous medium within the framework of the $\phi^4$ model. The inhomogeneity is modeled either as an interface separating regions with different dissipation or as a finite layer with…
The collective coordinates approximation for the kink/anti-kink scattering in the $1+1$ dimensional $\phi^4$ model is considered and we discuss how the results found in the current literature on the topic can be improved by giving the…
We consider a class of topological defects in $(1,1)$-dimensions with a deformed $\phi^4$ kink structure whose stability analysis leads to a Schr\"odinger-like equation with a zero-mode and at least one vibrational (shape) mode. We are…
The peridynamic model of a solid does not involve spatial gradients of the displacement field and is therefore well suited for studying defect propagation. Here, bond-based peridynamic theory is used to study the equilibrium and steady…
It is well known that the dynamics of a one-dimensional dissipative system driven by the Ginzburg-Landau free energy may be described in terms of interacting kinks: two neighbouring kinks at distance $\ell$ feel an attractive force…
