Large lumps

We introduce a procedure to obtain lump solutions via the formation of a kink-antikink pair, consisting of the superposition of kinks whose distance from the origin is controlled by a single parameter $a$. For large values of $a$, a wide plateau appears in the solution, which we call a large lump. The procedure involves the use of a first-order equation that allows the construction of the potential associated with the lump solution. We then investigate several known scalar field models where the parent kinks are capable of giving rise to novel lumps. The lump inherits the tails of the parent kink, allowing for either short-range exponential profiles or long-range profiles characterized by distinct power-law decays. We also show how to verify if an arbitrary lump solution can be obtained via our method and illustrate this possibility with a novel vacuumless lump.

Geometrically constrained localized configurations engendering non-topological profile

This work deals with two real scalar fields in two-dimensional spacetime, with the fields coupled to allow the study of localized configurations. We consider models constructed to engender geometric constrictions, and use them to investigate solutions of the lump type, which attain no topological properties. We show how to modify the internal structure of the field configurations and the corresponding energy densities in several distinct ways, making them thinner, thicker and also, in the form of a multi-lump solution composed of two or more lumps or asymmetrically distributed around their associated centers. The results appear to be of current interest in high energy physics and may, in particular, be used to study bright solitons in optical fibers and in Bose-Einstein condensates.
