Sommario:
- There is a series of scalar models possessing reflectionless kinks whose linear perturbations are described by a Pöschl-Teller potential at integer level $σ$. The cases $σ=1$ and $2$ are the well-known Sine-Gordon and $ϕ^4$ double-well models. The $σ=3$ kink has received relatively little attention because it exhibits a $ϕ^{8/3}$ potential, whose third derivative diverges in the vacuum. In old-fashioned perturbation theory this yields a cubic interaction that diverges far from a kink. We nonetheless use this interaction to calculate the amplitudes and probabilities for incoming radiation to excite or de-excite one of the kink's two shape modes. As each shape mode is localized about the kink, the leading order amplitudes are nonetheless finite. This suggests that the $σ=3$ model is not pathological, but rather its mesons are quantum field theoretic extensions of Znojil's bound states.
