Few years ago, Cho and Vilenkin have proposed that topological defects can arise in symmetry breaking models without having degenerate vacua. These types of defects are known as vacuumless defects. In the present work, the gravitational…
In this work we investigate a $Z_2$ symmetric model of one scalar field $\phi$ in $(1,1)$ dimension. The model is characterized by a continuous transition from a potential $V(\phi)$ with two vacua to the vacuumless case. The model has kink…
We investigate novel structures which arise from the compactification of vacuumless kinks in scalar field models coupled to impurities that preserve half the BPS sectors, described by first-order equations. We also investigate the behavior…
We extend a deformation prescription recently introduced and present some new soluble nonlinear problems for kinks and lumps. In particular, we show how to generate models which present the basic ingredients needed to give rise to dimension…
In this paper we construct a family of Hamilton-Jacobi separable non-linear $\mathbb{S}^1\times\mathbb{S}^1$ Sigma models for which the kink variety can be analytically identified and for which the linear stability of the emerging kinks is…
Thouless pumping provides one of the simplest manifestations of topology in quantum systems, and has attracted a lot of recent interest, both theoretically and experimentally. Since the seminal works by Thouless and Niu in 1983 and 1984, it…

We present a new cosmological model of the Universe based on the two discoveries: 1. cosmological constant is very small, and 2. Nature shows a new law in physics called "Multiple Point Principle" (MPP). The MPP predicts the two degenerate…
Gapped two-dimensional gauge theories with massless fermions generically have rich vacuum structures consisting of many degenerate vacua related by the action of topological line operators. The algebra of such operators has been used to…
We review some basic theorems on integrability of Hamiltonian systems, namely the Liouville-Arnold theorem on complete integrability, the Nekhoroshev theorem on partial integrability and the Mishchenko-Fomenko theorem on noncommutative…
We construct and study two kink theories. One contains a static 2-kink configuration with controllable binding energy. The other contains a locally stable non-topological solution, which we call a lavion. The new models are 1D analogs of…
Dimension-varying linear systems are investigated. First, a dimension-free state space is proposed. A cross dimensional distance is constructed to glue vectors of different dimensions together to form a cross-dimensional topological space.…
The subject of this paper is degenerate integrability in Hamiltonian mechanics. It starts with a short survey of degenerate integrability. The first section contains basic notions. It is followed by a number of examples which include the…
This paper studies the dynamics and integrability of a variable-length coupled pendulum system. The complexity of the model is presented by joining various numerical methods, such as the Poincar\'e cross-sections, phase-parametric diagrams,…
We introduce a technique to construct gapped lattice models using defects in topological field theory. We illustrate with 2+1 dimensional models, for example Chern-Simons theories. These models are local, though the state space is not…
We investigate the implications of the nontrivial vacuum structure of little Higgs models. In particular, focusing on the littlest Higgs model, we demonstrate the existence of three types of topological defects. One is a global cosmic…
A realistic material may possess defects, which often bring the material new properties that have practical applications. The boundary defects of a two-dimensional topologically ordered system are thought of as an alternative way of…
The well known Liouville-Arnold theorem says that if a level surface of integrals of an integrable system is compact and connected, then it is a torus. However, in some important examples of integrable systems the topology of a level…
The notion of integrability is discussed for classical nonautonomous systems with one degree of freedom. The analysis is focused on models which are linearly spanned by finite Lie algebras. By constructing the autonomous extension of the…
Topological metamaterials have invaded the mechanical world, demonstrating acoustic cloaking and waveguiding at finite frequencies and variable, tunable elastic response at zero frequency. Zero frequency topological states have previously…
