Analytically solvable models are benchmarks in studies of phase transitions and pattern-forming bifurcations. Such models are known for phase transitions of the second kind in uniform media, but not for localized states (solitons), as…
We study stability properties of kinks for the (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear scalar field theory models \begin{equation*} \partial_t^2\phi -\partial_x^2\phi + W'(\phi) = 0, \quad (t,x)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}. \end{equation*} The orbital…
We develop quantum electrodynamics into a kinetic-theory-like evolution equation for electrons, positrons and photons. To keep the "collision rules" simple, we make use of longitudinal and temporal photons in addition to the usual…

The behavior of the kink in the sine-Gordon (sG) model in the presence of periodic inhomogeneity is studied. An ansatz is proposed that allows for the construction of a reliable effective model with two degrees of freedom. Effective models…

We present a computational analysis of the long-range interactions of solitary waves in higher-order field theories. Our vehicle of choice is the $\varphi^8$ field theory, although we explore similar issues in example $\varphi^{10}$ and…
Kink-antikink scattering in the $\phi^4$ model is investigated in the limit when the static inter-soliton force vanishes. We observe the formation of spectral walls and, further, identify a new phenomenon, the vacuum wall, whose existence…
The sigma model with dilaton and axion is generalized by including in it a potential that is invariant under the global transformation of the dilaton shift. In the (1 + 1)-dimensional case, a soliton is constructed, which turned out to be…
This work deals with the presence of localized structures in relativistic systems described by a single real scalar field in two-dimensional spacetime. We concentrate on kinks and compactons in models with standard kinematics, and we…
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…
We study final states in the scattering of kinks and antikinks of the $\varphi^8$ field-theoretic model. We use the initial conditions in the form of two, three or four static or moving kinks. In the numerical experiments we observe a…
The wobbling kink is the soliton of the $\phi^4$ model with an excited internal mode. We outline an asymptotic construction of this particle-like solution that takes into account the coexistence of several space and time scales. The…
In this work, we present a general procedure, which is able to generate new exact solitonic models in 1+1 dimensions, from a known one, consisting of two coupled scalar fields. An interesting consequence of the method, is that of the…

We investigate a class of scalar field models which engender kink-like solutions in the presence of polynomial potentials that allows for modifications of the tails of the localized configurations. We introduce a parameter in the potential…
In this work, we investigate braneworld models generated by scalar fields in which one field has a split kink profile, in which a kink separates into two kinklike configurations. Our analysis covers models with two and three fields,…
