چکیده
In this lecture we outline main results of our investigations of certain field-theoretic systems which have V-shaped field potential. After presenting physical examples of such systems we show that in static problems the exact ground state value of the field is achieved on a finite distance – there are no exponential tails. This applies in particular to soliton-like object called the topological compacton. Next, we discuss scaling invariance which appears when the fields are restricted to small amplitude perturbations of the ground state. Evolution of such perturbations is governed by a nonlinear equation with a non-smooth term which can not be linearized even in the limit of very small amplitudes. Finally, we briefly describe self-similar and shock-wave solutions of that equation.

We investigate a (1+1)-dimensional classical field theoretic model with the field potential V (φ) = |φ|. It can be obtained as the universal small amplitude limit in a class of models with potentials which are symmetrically V-shaped at their minima, or as a continuum limit of certain mechanical system with infinite number of degrees of freedom. The model has an interesting scaling symmetry of t...

Simple 4+d dimensional field theoretic models in which a 4 dimensional chiral Fermion field can be localised to the brane are analysed. The brane is defined by a d dimensional topological defect described by (i) an O(d + 1) sigma model, or (ii) a Goldstone model. When the defect has spherical symmetry, no solutions exist for d ≥ 2, leaving the d = 1 model of (ii) the only viable example of this...

1 Abstract A canonical analysis of the first-order two-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action has shown it to have no physical degrees of freedom and to possess an unusual gauge symmetry with a symmetric field ξ µν acting as a gauge function. Some consequences of this symmetry are explored. The action is quantized and it is shown that all loop diagrams beyond one-loop 1
