We introduce a systematic method to derive the effective action for domain walls directly from the scalar field theory that gives rise to their solitonic solutions. The effective action for the Goldstone mode, which characterizes the soliton's position, is shown to consist of the Nambu-Goto action supplemented by higher-order curvature invariants associated to its worldvolume metric. Our approach constrains the corrections to a finite set of Galileon terms, specifying both their functional forms and the procedure to compute their coefficients. We do a collection of tests across various models in $2+1$ and $3+1$ dimensions that confirm the validity of this framework. Additionally, the method is extended to include bound scalar fields living on the worldsheet, along with their couplings to the Goldstone mode. These interactions reveal a universal non-minimal coupling of these scalar fields to the Ricci scalar on the worldsheet. A significant consequence of this coupling is the emergence of a parametric instability, driven by interactions between the bound states and the Goldstone mode.

  1. Cuspidal Singularities in Collapsing Domain Walls

    hep-th 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    Collapsing domain walls generically form cuspidal edge and vertex singularities captured by Nambu-Goto and eikonal approximations and reproduced in field theory simulations.

  2. Caustic formation in DBI models: Wave propagation on planar domain walls

    hep-th 2026-04 accept novelty 7.0

    DBI domain walls stay shock-free in the hyperbolic regime across 2D flat space and extended physical setups, with caustics forming only upon loss of hyperbolicity and exhibiting cusp profiles.

  3. Caustic formation in DBI models: Wave propagation on planar domain walls

    hep-th 2026-04 accept novelty 7.0

    Hyperbolic DBI remains caustic-free for generic waves on planar domain walls in 2D flat space and under realistic deformations; only hyperbolicity loss produces cusp caustics.

  4. Localized Vector Modes on Local Cosmic Strings

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Vector gauge modes trapped on Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings remain bound for all couplings λ, decay as t^{-1/2} via bulk radiation (or via quasinormal modes at large λ), and parametrically excite both transverse zero modes.

  5. Quantization of Brane-Skyrmions via Physics-Informed Neural Networks

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantizes Brane-Skyrmions perturbatively in J² and employs PINNs to minimize energy while incorporating quantized spin backreaction for potential hadronic spectra modeling.
