We investigate numerically kink collisions in a $1+1$ dimensional scalar field theory with multiple vacua. The domain wall model we are interested in involves two scalar fields and a potential term built from an asymmetric double well and…
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…
By means of dynamical mean field theory calculations, it was recently discovered that kinks generically arise in strongly correlated systems, even in the absence of external bosonic degrees of freedoms such as phonons. However, the physical…
We present a dynamical picture of kink-anti-kink scattering in a pair of special, Frankensteinian potentials made of piece-wise quadratic and linear pieces. Specifically, we focus on models that support kinks without skin and core regions.…
The `mechanization' is a procedure of replacing a scalar field in 1+1 dimensions with a piece-wise linear function, i.e. a finite graph consisting of $N$ joints (vertices) and straight segments (edges). As a result, the field theory is…

New classes of classically integrable models in the cosmological theories with a scalar field are obtained by using freedoms of defining time and fields. In particular, some models with the sum of exponential potentials in the flat spatial…
In the construction of a classical smoothed out brane world model in five dimensions, one uses a dynamically generated domain wall (a kink) to localise an effective four dimensional theory. At the level of the Euler-Lagrange equations the…

Extending a recent effective theory formulation for the dynamics of kinks in the sine-Gordon model [1], we propose an analogous effective description of $\phi^4$ kinks. Three different reduced models based on the kink position, width and…
We discuss non-commutative field theories in coordinate space. To do so we introduce pseudo-localized operators that represent interesting position dependent (gauge invariant) observables. The formalism may be applied to arbitrary field…
In this paper we describe the moduli space of kinks in a class of systems of two coupled real scalar fields in (1+1) Minkowskian space-time. The main feature of the class is the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry of (real)…
We provide a brief overview of tensor models and group field theories, focusing on their main common features. Both frameworks arose in the context of quantum gravity research, and can be understood as higher-dimensional generalizations of…
We consider the existence and spectral stability of static multi-kink structures in the discrete sine-Gordon equation, as a representative example of the family of discrete Klein-Gordon models. The multi-kinks are constructed using Lin's…
According to Two-Time Physics, there is more to space-time than can be garnered with the ordinary formulation of physics. Two-Time Physics has shown that the Standard Model of Particles and Forces is successfully reproduced by a two-time…
Extending tensor models at the field theoretical level, tensor field theories are nonlocal quantum field theories with Feynman graphs identified with simplicial complexes. They become relevant for addressing quantum topology and geometry in…
The Clifford action on superspaces is analyzed with a view on generalized Dirac fields taking values in some Clifford supermodule. the stress is here on two principles: complexification and polarisation. For applications in field theory,…
