Kink excitation spectra in the (1+1)-dimensional φ8 model

Abstract: Abstract:We study excitation spectra of BPS-saturated topological solutions -the kinks -of the ϕ 8 scalar field model in (1 + 1) dimensions, for three different choices of the model parameters. We demonstrate that some of these kinks have a vibrational mode, apart from the trivial zero (translational) excitation. One of the considered kinks is shown to have three vibrational modes. We perform a numerical calculation of the kink-kink scattering in one of the considered variants of the ϕ 8 model, and find the cr… Show more

“…This feature is interesting, for example, for the study of the force between kinks, where one usually obtains short-range interactions mediated by the asymptotic behavior of the kinklike solutions [15,16]. In addition, the existence of topological sectors linking minima with non-vanishing masses may result in the presence of excited modes in the spectrum of the stability equation related to resonances arising in kink/anti-kink scattering process [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…Multi-soliton solutions to the sine-Gordon (sG) equation have been derived analytically [20,21] and analyzed by many authors [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. Colliding solitons can produce high energy density spots and for many applications it is important to know how large the energy density can be in multi-soliton collisions.…”
