Orbital stability of Dirac solitons
Letters in Mathematical Physics 104, 21-41 (2014)
Abstract:
We prove H1 orbital stability of Dirac solitons in the integrable massive Thirring model by
working with an additional conserved quantity which complements Hamiltonian, momentum
and charge functionals of the general nonlinear Dirac equations. We also derive a global bound
on the H1 norm of the L2-small solutions of the massive Thirring model.
