Abstract

Slower-than-light multi-front solutions of the Sine-Gordon in (1+2) dimensions, constructed through the Hirota algorithm, are mapped onto spatially localized structures, which emulate free, spatially extended, massive relativistic particles. A localized structure is an image of the junctions at which the fronts intersect. It propagates together with the multi-front solution at the velocity of the latter. The profile of the localized structure obeys the linear wave equation in (1+2) dimensions, to which a term that represents interaction with a slower-than-light, Sine-Gordon-multi-front solution has been added. This result can be also formulated in terms of a (1+2)-dimensional Lagrangian system, in which the Sine-Gordon and wave equations are coupled. Expanding the Euler-Lagrange equations in powers of the coupling constant, the zero-order part of the solution reproduces the (1+2)-dimensional Sine-Gordon fronts. The first-order part is the spatially localized structure. PACS: 02.30.Ik, 03.65.Pm, 05.45.Yv, 02.30.Ik.

Summary

Motivation

Still, localized structures, which emulate spatially extended particles, can be generated from such solutions in two or three space dimensions by a procedure that is a natural consequence of the evolution equation considered. A dynamical variable, ρ, obeys the (1+2)-dimensional linear wave equation, which is driven by an “external field” generated from a multi-front solution of the (1 +2)-dimensional Sine-Gordon equation. [26] (KP II equation) and in this paper (Sine-Gordon equation in (1+2) dimensions), the definition of “particle” mass as the space integral of the profile of a localized structure bears fruits of physical significance. In the case of the (1+2)-dimensional Sine-Gordon equation discussed here, this definition allows for the interpretation of the localized structures as emulating free, spatially extended, massive relativistic particles. For the forms assigned to the functionals F[w] and G[w] in this paper, and with appropriate boundary conditions, the system of Eq (5) admits a solution, which, through first order in the coupling constant, g, describes the (1+2)-dimensional front solutions of the Sine-Gordon equation, and a positive definite, localized solution of the driven wave equation
