The method of multiple scales is used to study the wobbling kink of the $\phi^4$ equation. The amplitude of the wobbling is shown to decay very slowly, as $t^{-1/2}$, and hence the wobbler turns out to be an extremely long-lived object.
Using the formalism of the classical nucleation theory, we derive a novel kinetic equation for the size and composition distribution of an ensemble of aqueous organic aerosols, evolving via nucleation and concomitant chemical aging. This…
We present a regularized and renormalized version of the one-loop nonlinear relaxation equations that determine the non-equilibrium time evolution of a classical (constant) field coupled to its quantum fluctuations. We obtain a…
Many kink solutions enjoy internal excitations, called shape modes. In some 1+1d scalar models, such as the $\phi^4$ double-well model, when a kink's shape mode is excited twice it may decay to a ground state kink plus a meson. We…
We calculate the one-loop correction to the distribution of energy-momentum tensor around a kink in $1+1$ dimensional $\phi^4$ model. We employ the collective coordinate method to eliminate the zero mode that gives rise to infrared…
