Interaction of Solitons for Sine-Gordon-Type Equations

Experimental investigation of trapped sine-Gordon solitons.

Thermal diffusion of sine-Gordon solitons

We analyze the diffusive motion of kink solitons governed by the thermal sine-Gordon equation. We analytically calculate the correlation function of the position of the kink center as well as the diffusion coefficient, both up to second-order in temperature. We find that the kink behavior is very similar to that obtained in the overdamped limit: There is a quadratic dependence on temperature in...

Two-dimensional gravitation and sine-Gordon solitons.

Some aspects of two-dimensional gravity coupled to matter fields, especially to the Sine-Gordon-model are examined. General properties and boundary conditions of possible soliton-solutions are considered. Analytic soliton-solutions are discovered and the structure of the induced space-time geometry is discussed. These solutions have interesting features and may serve as a starting point for fur...

, mKdV , SINE - GORDON SOLITON EQUATIONS

A bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of complex vector soliton equations is derived from geometric flows of non-stretching curves in the Lie groups G = SO(N + 1), SU(N) ⊂ U(N), generalizing previous work on integrable curve flows in Riemannian symmetric spaces G/SO(N). The derivation uses a parallel frame and connection along the curves, involving the Klein geometry of the group G. This is shown to yield...

Inverse scattering and the symplectic form for sine-Gordon solitons

We consider the canonical symplectic form for sine-Gordon evaluated explicitly on the solitons of the model. The integral over space in the form, which arises because the canonical argument uses the Lagrangian density, is done explicitly in terms of functions arising in the group doublecrossproduct formulation of the inverse scattering procedure, and we are left with a simple expression given b...
