Flat domain walls and spherical black holes are solutions to coupled second-order ODE's of the Hamiltonian form. Hamilton-Jacobi theory then implies that first-order flow equations always exist (possibly up to isolated submanifolds). If the…
Dynamics of cylindrical and spherical relativistic domain walls is investigated with the help of a new method based on Taylor expansion of the scalar field in a vicinity of the core of the wall. Internal oscillatory modes for the domain…

Discrete symmetries are commonplace in field theoretical models but pose a severe problem for cosmology since they lead to the formation of domain walls during spontaneous symmetry breaking in the early universe. However if one of the…
