We study the fundamental self-similar solution to the SU(2) sigma model, found by Shatah and Turok-Spergel. We give a rigorous proof for its mode stability. Based on earlier results by the second author, the present paper constitutes the…

The existence of stationary solitary waves in symmetric and non-symmetric complex potentials is studied by means of Melnikov's perturbation method. The latter provides analytical conditions for the existence of such waves that bifurcate…

We explore the bifurcation structure of mode-1 solitary waves in a three-layer fluid confined between two rigid boundaries. A recent study (Lamb, J. Fluid Mech. 2023, 962, A17) proposed a method to predict the coexistence of solitary waves…

The Skyrme model is a geometric field theory and a quasilinear modification of the Nonlinear Sigma Model (Wave Maps). In this paper we study the development of singularities for the equivariant Skyrme Model, in the strong-field limit, where…
