Extended multi-scalar field theories in $$(1+1)$$ ( 1 + 1 ) dimensions

Abstract We present the explicit construction of some multi-scalar field theories in $$(1+1$$ ( 1 + 1 ) dimensions supporting BPS (Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield) kink solutions. The construction is based on the ideas of the so-called extension method. In particular, several new interesting two-scal...

Description
Summary:Abstract We present the explicit construction of some multi-scalar field theories in $$(1+1$$ ( 1 + 1 ) dimensions supporting BPS (Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield) kink solutions. The construction is based on the ideas of the so-called extension method. In particular, several new interesting two-scalar and three-scalar field theories are explicitly constructed from non-trivial couplings between well-known one-scalar field theories. The BPS solutions of the original one-field systems will be also BPS solutions of the multi-scalar system by construction, and therefore we will analyse their linear stability properties for the constructed models.
