In this lecture we outline the main results of our investigations of certain field-theoretic systems which have V-shaped field potential. After presenting physical examples of such systems, we show that in static problems the exact ground state value of the field is achieved on a finite distance - there are no exponential tails. This applies in particular to soliton-like object called the topological compacton. Next, we discuss scaling invariance which appears when the fields are restricted to small amplitude perturbations of the ground state. Evolution of such perturbations is governed by nonlinear equation with a non-smooth term which can not be linearized even in the limit of very small amplitudes. Finally, we briefly describe self-similar and shock wave solutions of that equation.

We investigate a (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear field theoretic model with the field potential $V(phi)| = |phi|.$ It can be obtained as the universal small amplitude limit in a class of models with potentials which are symmetrically V-shaped at their mi nima, or as a continuum limit of certain mechanical system with infinite number of degrees of freedom. The model has an interesting scaling symmetry of the on shell type. We find self-similar as well as shock wave solutions of the field equation in that model.

In a previous work we formulated a model of semitransparent dielectric surfaces, coupled to the electromagnetic field by means of an effective potential. Here we consider a setup with two dissimilar mirrors, and compute exactly the correction undergo ne by the photon propagator due to the presence of both plates. It turns out that this new propagator is continuous all over the space and, in the appropriate limit, coincides with the one used to describe the Casimir effect between perfect conductors. The amended Green function is then used to calculate the Casimir energy between the uniaxial dielectric surfaces described by the model, and a numerical analysis is carried out to highlight the peculiar behavior of the interaction between the mirrors.
We consider generating functionals for computing correlators in quantum field theories with random potentials. Examples of such theories include condensed matter systems with quenched disorder (e.g. spin glass) or cosmological systems in context of t he string theory landscape (e.g. cosmic inflation). We use the so-called replica trick to define two different generating functionals for calculating correlators of the quantum fields averaged over a given distribution of random potentials. The first generating functional is appropriate for calculating averaged (in-out) amplitudes and involves a single replica of fields, but the replica limit is taken to an (unphysical) negative one number of fields outside of the path integral. When the number of replicas is doubled the generating functional can also be used for calculating averaged probabilities (squared amplitudes) using the in-in construction. The second generating functional involves an infinite number of replicas, but can be used for calculating both in-out and in-in correlators and the replica limits are taken to only a zero number of fields. We discuss the formalism in details for a single real scalar field, but the generalization to more fields or to different types of fields is straightforward. We work out three examples: one where the mass of scalar field is treated as a random variable and two where the functional form of interactions is random, one described by a Gaussian random field and the other by a Euclidean action in the field configuration space.
The supersymmetrical approach is used to analyse a class of two-dimensional quantum systems with periodic potentials. In particular, the method of SUSY-separation of variables allowed us to find a part of the energy spectra and the corresponding wave functions (partial solvability) for several models. These models are not amenable to conventional separation of variables, and they can be considered as two-dimensional generalizations of Lame, associated Lame, and trigonometric Razavy potentials. All these models have the symmetry operators of fourth order in momenta, and one of them (the Lame potential) obeys the property of self-isospectrality.

Exact configurations of the four dimensional Skyrme model are presented. The static configurations have the profile which behaves as a kink and, consequently, the corresponding energy momentum tensor describes a domain wall. Furthermore, a class of e xact time periodic Skyrmions is discovered. Within such class, it is possible to disclose a remarkable phenomenon which is a genuine effect of the Skyrme term. For a special value of the frequency the Skyrmions admit a non linear superposition principle. One can combine two or more exact elementary Skyrmions (which may depend in a non trivial way on all the space like coordinates) into a new exact composite Skyrmion. Due to such superposition law, despite the explicit presence of non linear effects in the energy momentum tensor, the interaction energy between the elementary Skyrmions can be computed exactly. The relations with the appearance of Skyrme crystals is discussed.
