We consider the dynamics of the domain-wall kink soliton, in particular we study the zero mode of translation. In the infinitely-thin kink limit, we show that the zero mode is almost completely frozen out, the only remnant being a…
This paper concerns piecewise-smooth maps on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are continuous but not differentiable on switching manifolds (where the functional form of the map changes). The stability of fixed points on switching manifolds is…
A discrete Fourier analysis associated with translation lattices is developed recently by the authors. It permits two lattices, one determining the integral domain and the other determining the family of exponential functions. Possible…
We review recent works on modeling of dynamics of kinks in 1+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ theory and other related models, like sine-Gordon model or $\phi^6$ theory. We discuss how the spectral structure of small perturbations can affect the…
We consider a prototypical model in which a nonlinear field (continuum or discrete) evolves on a flexible substrate which feeds back to the evolution of the main field. We identify the underlying physics and potential applications of such a…
We investigate Minkowski additive, continuous, and translation invariant operators $\Phi:\mathcal{K}^n\to\mathcal{K}^n$ defined on the family of convex bodies such that the volume of the image $\Phi(K)$ is bounded from above and below by…
A chain of interacting particles subject also to a nonlinear on-site potential admits stable soliton-like configurations : static kinks. The linear normal-modes around such a kink contain a discrete set of localized, gap-separated modes.…
We study the invariant theory of singular foliations of the projective plane. Our first main result is that a foliation of degree m>1 is not stable only if it has singularities in dimension 1 or contains an isolated singular point with…
We study static kink configurations in a type of two-dimensional higher derivative scalar field theory whose Lagrangian contains second-order derivative terms of the field. The linear fluctuation around arbitrary static kink solutions is…
We prove the holding of chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke for a family of four-dimensional discrete dynamical systems that are naturally associated to ODE systems describing coupled oscillators subject to an external non-conservative force,…
We study the natural non-flat version of the so-called "constrained von Karman" theory for thin nonlinearly elastic films. We prove that every (admissible) radially symmetric out-of-plane displacement on the unit disk is a stationary point.…
For the nonlinear Klein-Gordon type models, we describe a general method of discretization in which the static kink can be placed anywhere with respect to the lattice. These discrete models are therefore free of the {\it static}…
We study translation-invariant quantum spin Hamiltonians on general graphs with non-commuting interactions either given by (i) a random rank-$1$ projection or (ii) Haar projectors. For (i), we prove that the Hamiltonian is gapped on any…
The lambda-phi4 kink is linearly and topologically stable. We study how extra energy perturbations are dissipated beyond the linear regime. We found that depending on the width, amplitude and energy of a Gaussian perturbation different…
The two major effects observed in collisions of the continuum $\phi^4$ kinks are (i) the existence of critical collision velocity above which the kinks always emerge from the collision and (ii) the existence of the escape windows for…
Several quantum gravity approaches and field theory on an evolving lattice involve a discretization changing dynamics generated by evolution moves. Local evolution moves in variational discrete systems (1) are a generalization of the…
We study fermion modes localized on the kink in the 1+1 dimensional $\phi^4$ model, coupled to the Dirac fermions with backreaction. Using numerical methods we construct self-consistent solutions of the corresponding system of coupled…
Starting from kicked equations of motion with derivatives of non-integer orders, we obtain "fractional" discrete maps. These maps are generalizations of well-known universal, standard, dissipative, kicked damped rotator maps. The main…
We show examples of pairs of smooth, compact, homeomorphic 4-manifolds, whose diffeomorphism types are distinguished by the topology of the singular sets of smooth stable maps defined on them. In this distinction we rely on results from…
For kink-antikink scattering within the \phi^4 non--linear field theory in one space and one time dimension resonance type configurations emerge when the relative velocity between kink and antikink falls below a critical value. It has been…
