Solitons in polymeric chains with periodic interactions

Abstract
In this paper we follow the lines of recent works to investigate systems of two coupled real scalar fields defined by potentials that describe periodic interactions between the scalar fields. We work with polymeric chains containing periodic interactions between the coupled fields, and we investigate the topological sectors to obtain explicit soliton solutions and their corresponding energy. In particular, we offer an example that considers deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as a system of coupled fields, and we present the main steps to describe DNA as a polymeric chain belonging to the class of systems of two coupled real scalar fields.
