Sine-Gordon solitons, auxiliary fields, and singular limit of a double pendulums chain
M. Cadoni, R. De Leo, G. Gaeta
We consider the continuum version of an elastic chain supporting topological and non-topological degrees of freedom; this generalizes a model for the dynamics of DNA recently propo…

A symmetry breaking mechanism for selecting the speed of relativistic solitons
M. Cadoni, R. De Leo, G. Gaeta
We propose a mechanism for fixing the velocity of relativistic soliton based on the breaking of the Lorentz symmetry of the sine-Gordon (SG) model. The proposal is first elaborated…

A composite model for DNA torsion dynamics
M. Cadoni, R. De Leo, G. Gaeta
DNA torsion dynamics is essential in the transcription process; a simple model for it, in reasonable agreement with experimental observations, has been proposed by Yakushevich (Y)…
