abstract
This work deals with the presence of localized structures in relativistic systems described by a single real scalar field in two-dimensional spacetime. We concentrate on kinks and compactons in models with standard kinematics, and we develop a procedure that help us to smoothly go from kinks to compactons in the suggested scenario. We also show how the procedure works in the braneworld scenario, for flat brane in the five-dimensional spacetime with a single extra dimension of infinite extent. The brane unveils a hybrid profile when the kink becomes a compacton, behaving as a thick or thin brane, depending on the extra dimension being inside or outside a compact space.

Impurities preserving half the BPS sectors induce compact or half-compact stable vacuumless kinks in scalar models, which cannot form in impurity-free canonical cases.

Scattering of kinks in Frankensteinian potentials: Kinks as bubbles of exotic mass and phase transitions in oscillon production

Compact structures in impurity-doped vacuumless systems
Impurities preserving half the BPS sectors induce compact or half-compact stable vacuumless kinks in scalar models, which cannot form in impurity-free canonical cases.
