Compact structures in impurity-doped vacuumless systems

Abstract

We investigate novel structures which arise from the compactification of vacuumless kinks in scalar field models coupled to impurities that preserve half the BPS sectors, described by first-order equations. We also investigate the behavior of the energy density and linear stability of the solutions. We show that compact vacuumless kinks cannot be obtained in impurity-free canonical models. By considering two distinct impurities, we study the conditions needed to induce compactification. In this scenario, stable half-compact or compact solutions are shown to emerge from the systems.
