We study in detail the ratchet-like dynamics of topological solitons in homogeneous nonlinear Klein-Gordon systems driven by a bi-harmonic force. By using a collective coordinate approach with two degrees of freedom, namely the center of the soliton, $X(t)$, and its width, $l(t)$, we show, first, that energy is inhomogeneously pumped into the system, generating as result a directed motion; and, second, that the breaking of the time shift symmetry gives rise to a resonance mechanism that takes place whenever the width $l(t)$ oscillates with at least one frequency of the external ac force. In addition, we show that for the appearance of soliton ratchets, it is also necesary to break the time-reversal symmetry. We analyze in detail the effects of dissipation in the system, calculating the average velocity of the soliton as a function of the ac force and the damping. We find current reversal phenomena depending on the parameter choice and discuss the important role played by the phases of the ac force. Our analytical calculations are confirmed by numerical simulations of the full partial differential equations of the sine-Gordon and $phi^4$ systems, which are seen to exhibit the same qualitative behavior. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental work on dissipation induced symmetry breaking.

Unidirectional motion of solitons can take place, although the applied force has zero average in time, when the spatial symmetry is broken by introducing a potential $V(x)$, which consists of periodically repeated cells with each cell containing an a symmetric array of strongly localized inhomogeneities at positions $x_{i}$. A collective coordinate approach shows that the positions, heights and widths of the inhomogeneities (in that order) are the crucial parameters so as to obtain an optimal effective potential $U_{opt}$ that yields a maximal average soliton velocity. $U_{opt}$ essentially exhibits two features: double peaks consisting of a positive and a negative peak, and long flat regions between the double peaks. Such a potential can be obtained by choosing inhomogeneities with opposite signs (e.g., microresistors and microshorts in the case of long Josephson junctions) that are positioned close to each other, while the distance between each peak pair is rather large. These results of the collective variables theory are confirmed by full simulations for the inhomogeneous sine-Gordon system.
Klein-Gordon equations describe the dynamics of waves/particles in sub-atomic scales. For nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, their breather solutions are usually known as time periodic solutions with the vanishing spatial-boundary condition. The exist ence of breather solution is known for the Sine-Gordon equations, while the Sine-Gordon equations are also known as the soliton equation. The breather solutions is a certain kind of time periodic solutions that are not only play an essential role in the bridging path to the chaotic dynamics, but provide multi-dimensional closed loops inside phase space. In this paper, based on the high-precision numerical scheme, the appearance of breather mode is studied for nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with periodic boundary condition. The spatial periodic boundary condition is imposed, so that the breathing-type solution in our scope is periodic with respect both to time and space. In conclusion, the existence condition of space-time periodic solution is presented, and the compact manifolds inside the infinite-dimensional dynamical system is shown. The space-time breather solutions of Klein-Gordon equations can be a fundamental building block for the sub-atomic nonlinear dynamics.
We consider the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in $R^d$. We call multi-solitary waves a solution behaving at large time as a sum of boosted standing waves. Our main result is the existence of such multi-solitary waves, provided the composing boosted standing waves are stable. It is obtained by solving the equation backward in time around a sequence of approximate multi-solitary waves and showing convergence to a solution with the desired property. The main ingredients of the proof are finite speed of propagation, variational characterizations of the profiles, modulation theory and energy estimates.
We study the ladder operator on scalar fields, mapping a solution of the Klein-Gordon equation onto another solution with a different mass, when the operator is at most first order in derivatives. Imposing the commutation relation between the dAlembe rtian, we obtain the general condition for the ladder operator, which contains a non-trivial case which was not discussed in the previous work [V. Cardoso, T. Houri and M. Kimura, Phys.Rev.D 96, 024044 (2017), arXiv:1706.07339]. We also discuss the relation with supersymmetric quantum mechanics.
This article resolves some errors in the paper Scattering threshold for the focusing nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, Analysis & PDE 4 (2011) no. 3, 405-460. The errors are in the energy-critical cases in two and higher dimensions.
