Title:Explicit Kink Solutions in Several One-Parameter Family of Higher Order Field Theory Models

Abstract:We present several one-parameter family of higher order field theory models some of which admit explicit kink solutions with an exponential tail while others admit explicit kink solutions with a power-law tail. Various properties of these families of kink solutions are examined in detail. In particular for models harboring kink solutions with a power-law tail, we show that there is no gap between the zero mode and the beginning of the continuum in the kink stability potential. Further, by applying the recent Manton formalism, we provide estimates for the kink-kink and antikink-kink acceleration and hence the ratio of the corresponding antikink-kink and kink-kink forces.
