متن کامل0 Dynamics of lattice kinks
We consider a class of Hamiltonian nonlinear wave equations governing a field defined on a spatially discrete one dimensional lattice, with discreteness parameter, d = h −1 , where h > 0 is the lattice spacing. The specific cases we consider in detail are the discrete sine-Gordon (SG) and discrete φ 4 models. For finite d and in the continuum limit (d → ∞) these equations have static kink-like ...
متن کاملQuasideterminant solutions of a non-Abelian Toda lattice and kink solutions of a matrix sine-Gordon equation
Two families of solutions of a generalized non-Abelian Toda lattice are considered. These solutions are expressed in terms of quasideterminants, constructed by means of Darboux and binary Darboux transformations. As an example of the application of these solutions, we consider the 2-periodic reduction to a matrix sine-Gordon equation. In particular, we investigate the interaction properties of ...
متن کاملLocal Casimir energy for solitons
A direct calculation of the one-loop contributions to the energy density of bosonic and supersymmetric φ4 kinks exhibits: (1) Local mode regularization. Regularization of the Casimir energy density maintains equality for the soliton and trivial vacua of not only the total number of field oscillation modes, but also the total mode density at each point in space. This yields the anomalous part of...
