Solitary waves in the complementary generalized ABS model

Abstract

We obtain exact solutions of the nonlinear Dirac equation in 1+1 dimension of the form $ \Psi(x,t) =\Phi(x) \rme^{-\rmi \omega t}$ where the nonlinear interactions are a combination of vector-vector and scalar-scalar interactions with the interaction Lagrangian given by $L_I = \frac{g^2}{(\kappa+1)}[\bar{\psi} \gamma_{\mu}\psi \bar{\psi} \gamma^{\mu} \psi]^{(\kappa+1)/2} - \frac{g^2}{q(\kappa+1)}(\bar{\psi} \psi)^{\kappa+1}$, where $\kappa>0$ and $q>1$. This is the complement of the generalization of the ABS model \cite{abs} that we recently studied \cite{ak} and denoted as the gABS model. We show that like the gABS model, in the complementary gABS models the solitary wave solutions also exist in the entire $(\kappa, q)$ plane and further in both models energy of the solitary wave divided by its charge is {\it independent} of the coupling constant $g$. However, unlike the gABS model here all the solitary waves are single humped, any value of $0 < \omega < m$ is allowed and further unlike the gABS model, for this complementary gABS model the solitary wave bound states exist only in case $\kappa \le \kappa_c$, where $\kappa_c$ depends on the value of $q$. Here $\omega$ and $m$ denote frequency and mass, respectively. We discuss the regions of stability of these solutions as a function of $\omega,q,\kappa$ using the Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion. Finally we discuss the non-relativistic reduction of the two-parameter family of this complementary generalized ABS model to a modified nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE) and discuss the stability of the solitary waves in the domain of validity of the modified NLSE.
