Abstract

We consider a (1+1)(1+1)-dimensional theory with a single real scalar field ϕ\phi whose kinematics is modified by a generalizing function f(ϕ)f(\phi). After briefly reviewing its Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) structure, we focus on a particular f(ϕ)f(\phi) to obtain analytic BPS double-kink solutions in three different models governed by the ϕ4\phi^4, ϕ6\phi^6, and sine-Gordon superpotentials. In all cases, the resulting double-kinks approach the boundaries by following an exponential decay, with the generalizing function controlling its dependence on xx and mass. We also calculate the BPS bound explicitly and study how the double kinks behave near the origin. The energy distribution of the novel BPS states engenders symmetric two-lump profiles for the ϕ4\phi^4 and sine-Gordon superpotentials. Whereas, for the ϕ6\phi^6 superpotential, the BPS energy profiles form asymmetric two-lumps.
