When a discrete group admits a convex-cocompact action on a non-compact rank-one symmetric space, there is a natural lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set, given by the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension of the boundary…

We consider the (1+1)-dimensional Lorentz-symmetric field-theoretic model with logarithmic potential having a Mexican-hat form with two local minima similar to that of the quartic Higgs potential in conventional electroweak theory with…

We consider a generalized discrete $\phi^4$ model and demonstrate that it can support exact moving kink solutions in the form of tanh with an arbitrarily large velocity. The constructed exact moving solutions are dependent on the specific…

In this paper, we present topological defects in $(1,1)$ dimensions, described by an extended nonlinear $O(3)$ sigma model. We consider spherical coordinates $(\phi,\chi)$ in the $S^2$ isotopic space and a potential $V(\phi,\chi)$. For…

This paper proposes a one-dimensional lattice model with long-range interactions which, in the continuum, keeps its nonlocal behaviour. In fact, the long-time evolution of the localized waves is governed by an asymptotic equation of the…

We consider random lattice triangulations of $n\times k$ rectangular regions with weight $\lambda^{|\sigma|}$ where $\lambda>0$ is a parameter and $|\sigma|$ denotes the total edge length of the triangulation. When $\lambda\in(0,1)$ and $k$…

We show that highly twisted minimal strips can undergo a non-singular transition, unlike the singular transitions seen in the M\"obius strip and the catenoid. If the strip is non-orientable this transition is topologically frustrated, and…

Starting from an extension of the Poisson bracket structure and Kubo-Martin-Schwinger-property of classical statistical mechanics of continuous systems to spin systems, defined on a lattice, we derive a series of, as we think, new and…

We investigate the thermal equilibrium properties of kinks in a classical $\phi^4$ field theory in $1+1$ dimensions. The distribution function, kink density, and correlation function are determined from large scale simulations. A dilute gas…

We study collisions of coherent structures in higher-order field-theoretic models, such as the $\phi^8$, $\phi^{10}$ and $\phi^{12}$ ones. The main distinguishing feature, of the example models considered herein, is that the collision…

The chiral spin liquid is one of the canonical examples of a topological state of quantum spins coexisting with symmetry-breaking chiral order; its experimental realization has been actively discussed in the past few years. Here, motivated…

In this thesis, we study interactions between topological defects in two-dimensional spacetimes. These defects are called kinks. They are solutions of scalar field theories with localized energy which propagate without losing its shape. In…
