Cyclically Deformed Defects and Topological Mass Constraints

Figure 3

The 3-cyclic deformed defects obtained from hyperbolic (first column) and trigonometric (second and third columns) deformation functions. Results are for the primitive 𝜆𝜒⁴ kink solution, 𝜒(𝑠) (thick black line), for the kink-like deformed defects, 𝜓^(𝑛)(𝑠) (black lines), and for the lump-like deformed defects, 𝜙^(𝑛)(𝑠) (red lines). The free parameter 𝑛 was set equal to 𝑘𝜋/8 with 𝑘 assuming the following integer values in the first/second (third) columns: 1(11) for solid lines, 2(12) for long-dashed lines, 3(13) for short-dashed lines, and 4(14) for dotted lines.
