We consider Klein-Gordon models with a $\delta$-correlated spatial disorder. We show that the properties of immobile kinks exhibit strong dependence on the assumptions as to their statistical distribution over the minima of the effective…
We consider a classical equation known as the $\phi^4$ model in one space dimension. The kink, defined by $H(x)=\tanh(x/{\sqrt{2}})$, is an explicit stationary solution of this model. From a result of Henry, Perez and Wreszinski it is known…
The Hyperboloidal Foliation Method (introduced by the authors in 2014) is extended here and applied to the Einstein equations of general relativity. Specifically, we establish the nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime for…
The (2+1)-dimension Klein-Gordon generalised equation is numerically solved through the finite differences method. Only the sine-Gordon case is focused: kink and antikink solutions are obtained in cartesian coordinates and evidence of…
We consider an enlarged $(1+1)$-dimensional model with two real scalar fields, $\phi$ and $\chi$ whose scalar potential $V(\phi,\chi)$ has a standard $\chi^4$ sector and a sine-Gordon one for $\phi$. These fields are coupled through a…

Lattice effects on the kink families of two models for one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon systems with double-well on-site potentials are considered. The analytical expression of the generalized Peierls-Nabarro pinning potential is…
We develop a general mapping from given kink or pulse shaped travelling-wave solutions including their velocity to the equations of motion on one-dimensional lattices which support these solutions. We apply this mapping - by definition an…
We consider kink-antikink collisions in the topological discrete sine-Gordon system. We find that the TDSG kink supports extra internal modes of vibration and this results in resonance effects of the kind seen for the continuum phi^4…
The solitary waves of massive (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear S^N-sigma models are unveiled. It is shown that the solitary waves in these systems are in one-to-one correspondence with the separatrix trajectories in the repulsive N-dimensional…
We add to a kink, which is a 1 dimensional structure, two transversal directions. We then check its asymptotic stability with respect to compactly supported perturbations in 3D and a time evolution under a Nonlinear Wave Equation (NLW). The…
This paper deals with the Klein-Gordon equation on the Poincar\'e chart of the 5-dimensional Anti-de Sitter universe. When the mass $\mu$ is larger than $-{1}{4}$, the Cauchy problem is well posed despite the loss of global hyperbolicity…
We study the effects on the dynamics of kinks due to expansions and contractions of the space. We show that the propagation velocity of the kink can be adiabatically tuned through slow expansions/contractions, while its width is given as a…
