Title: Logarithmic potential with super-super-exponential kink profiles and tails

Journal Article · · Physica Scripta

In this work, we consider a novel one dimensional model of a logarithmic potential which has super-super-exponential kink profiles as well as kink tails. We provide analytic kink solutions of the model—it has 3 kinks, 3 mirror kinks and the corresponding antikinks. While some of the kink tails are super-super-exponential, some others are super-exponential whereas the remaining ones are exponential. The linear stability analysis reveals that there is a gap between the zero mode and the onset of continuum. Finally, we compare this potential and its kink solutions with those of very high order field theories harboring seven degenerate minima and their attendant kink solutions, specifically φ14, φ16 and φ18.
