Kinks in higher-order polynomial models
Abstract
We consider a family of field-theoretic models with a real scalar field in (1+1)-dimensional space-time. The field dynamics in each model is determined by a polynomial potential with two degenerate minima. We obtain exact general formulas for kink solutions with power-law asymptotic behavior. We also write out formulas for the asymptotics of all found kinks. In addition, we analyze some other properties of the obtained kinks: stability potentials, zero modes, positions of the centers of mass.
