Scattering of kinks in a non-polynomial model

Abstract: We study a model described by a single real scalar field in the two-dimensional space-time. The model is specified by a potential which is non-polynomial and supports analytical kink-like solutions that are similar to the standard kink-like solutions that appear in the ϕ 4 model when it develops spontaneous symmetry breaking. We investigate the kinkantikink scattering problem in the non-polynomial model numerically and highlight some specific features, which are not present in the standard case.

“…Recently there has been a renewal of the study of kink and antikink scattering, with several models being subject of investigation. In this line one can cite polynomial models with one [14,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and two or more [25][26][27][28] scalar fields, nonpolynomial models [29][30][31][32][33][34] and multi-kinks [35][36][37][38][39].…”

“…It refers to the deformation procedure, a method of current interest which helps us to introduce new models, and solve them analytically. This will be further reviewed below, and used to define the model [99] we want to investigate in the current work. In particular, the new model is somehow similar to the ϕ 4 model with spontaneous symmetry breaking, so we will compare its features with the ϕ 4 case, in order to highlight the differences between the two cases, and to see how the non-polynomial interaction of the new model modifies the behavior seen in the standard ϕ 4 model.…”

“…In a vast majority of cases, in which physical models are non-integrable, oscillons radiate very slowly [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Oscillons can be created in some dynamical processes like, for instance, in kink-antikink collisions [9,[14][15][16][17][18]. On the other hand, oscillating structures seen in some integrable models, like (e.g.…”
