Two-body bound states such as mesons are described by solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We discuss recent results for the pseudoscalar and vector meson masses and leptonic decay constants, ranging from pions up to c\bar{c} bound…

In several self-coupled quantum field theories when treated in semi-classical limit one obtains solitonic solutions determined by topology of the boundary conditions. Such solutions, e.g. magnetic monopole in unified theories…

We consider the one-dimensional anisotropic XY model in the continuum limit. Stability analysis of its Bloch wall solution is hindered by the nondiagonality of the associated linearised operator and the hessian of energy. We circumvent this…

In this paper we consider a class of systems of two coupled real scalar fields in bidimensional spacetime, with the main motivation of studying classical or linear stability of soliton solutions. Firstly, we present the class of systems and…

The localization of vibrational energy, induced by the modulational instability of the Brillouin-zone-boundary mode in a chain of classical anharmonic oscillators with finite initial energy density, is studied within a continuum theory. We…

In a Vlasov equation, the destabilization of a homogeneous stationary state is typically described by a continuous bifurcation characterized by strong resonances between the unstable mode and the continuous spectrum. However, when the…

Sphalerons -- unstable static solutions of classical field equations in (d+1)-dimensional space-time -- may be viewed as euclidean solutions in d dimensions. We discuss their role in the large order asymptotics of the perturbation theory.…

We investigate some fundamental features of a class of non-linear relativistic lagrangian field theories with kinetic self-coupling. We focus our attention upon theories admitting static, spherically symmetric solutions in three space…

We formulate a quantum coherent state picture for topological and non-topological solitons. We recognize that the topological charge arises from the infinite occupation number of zero momentum quanta flowing in one direction. Thus, the…

The unavoidable interaction of quantum systems with their environment usually results in the loss of desired quantum resources. Suitably chosen system Hamiltonians, however, can, to some extent, counteract such detrimental decay, giving…

We consider one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) optical or matter-wave media with a maximum of the local self-repulsion strength at the center, and a minimum at periphery. If the central area is broad enough, it supports ground states in…

Eigenstates of Bose particles with repulsive contact interactions in one-dimensional space with periodic boundary conditions can be found with the help of the Bethe ansatz. The type~II excitation spectrum identified by E. H. Lieb,…

The recent creation of Townes solitons (TSs) in binary Bose-Einstein condensates and experimental demonstration of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in solitons propagating in dual-core optical fibers draw renewed interest to the TS and…

Classical and quantum dynamics of two distinct BPS monopoles in the case of non-aligned Higgs fields are studied on the basis of the recently determined low energy effective theory. Despite the presence of a specific potential together with…

Solitons, or non-destructible local disturbances, are important features of many one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear wave phenomena, from water waves in narrow canals to light pulses in optical fibers. In ultra-cold gases, they have long been…

Orbital and asymptotic stability for 1-soliton solutions to the Toda lattice equations as well as small solitary waves to the FPU lattice equations are established in the energy space. Unlike analogous Hamiltonian PDEs, the lattice…

We consider the problem of the formation of soliton states from a modulationally unstable initial condition in the framework of the Schr\"odinger-Poisson (or Newton-Schr\"odinger) equation accounting for gravitational interactions. We…

The stability regimes and nonlinear dynamics of bright solitons created in a harmonic potential which is transversely attractive and longitudinally expulsive are presented. This choice of potential is motivated by the recent creation of a…

We consider a phase transition induced by the growth of Q-balls in a false vacuum. Such a transition could occur in the early universe in the case of broken supersymmetry with a metastable false vacuum. Small Q-balls with a negative…

Using Schwinger's quantum action principle, dispersion relations are obtained for neutral scalar mesons interacting with bi-local sources. These relations are used as the basis of a method for representing the effect of interactions in the…
