On self-gravitating kinks in two-dimensional pseudo-riemannian universes
hep-th
/ Abstract
Two-dimensional scalar field theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking subject to the action of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity are studied. Solutions for the $φ^4$ and sine-Gordon self-gravitating kinks are presented, both for general gravitational coupling and in the perturbative regime. The analysis is extended to deal with a hierarchy of kinks related to transparent Pöschl-Teller potentials
