Soliton solutions are studied as a generalization of the bosonized Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a fourth order term in the scalar meson field. Such an interaction arises in the context of a scale-invariant modification of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio action, in which the scalar meson field is coupled to a scalar glueball field. It is shown that a fourth order term in the scalar meson field is crucial for the existence of stable solitons. We investigate the dependence of soliton properties on the scalar-glueball coupling.

In this paper, an exactly scale-invariant spectrum of scalar perturbation generated during de Sitter spacetime is found from the gravity model of the nonminimal derivative coupling with fourth-order term. The nonminimal derivative coupling term generates a healthy (ghost-free) fourth-order derivative term, while the fourth-order term provides an unhealthy (ghost) fourth-order derivative term. The Harrison–Zel’dovich spectrum obtained from Fourier transforming the fourth-order propagator in de Sitter space is recovered by computing the power spectrum in its momentum space directly. It shows that this model provides a truly scale-invariant spectrum, in addition to the Lee–Wick scalar theory.

An extension of the KPII equation is studied. Adding a new fourth-order derivative term and some second-order derivative terms, we formulate an extended KPII equation. Different types of solutions of the extended equation are obtained by the Hirota bilinear method, and the presented solutions include soliton solutions, lump solutions and interaction solutions. Their dynamical behaviors are analyzed through plots.

Higher‐order terms in the generalized seismic reflection moveout equation are usually neglected, resulting in the familiar second‐order, or hyperbolic, moveout equation. Modeling studies show that the higher‐order terms are often significant, and their neglect produces sizable traveltime residuals after correction for moveout in such cases as kinked‐ray models. Taner and Koehler (1969) introduced velocity spectra for estimating stacking velocity defined on the basis of second‐order moveout. Through the use of orthogonal polynomials, an iterative procedure is defined that permits computation of fourth‐order moveout spectra while simultaneously upgrading the previously computed, second‐order spectra. Emphasis is placed on the fourth‐order term, but the procedure is general and can be expanded to higher orders. When used with synthetic and field recorded common‐midpoint (CMP) trace data, this technique produces significant improvements in moveout determination affecting three areas: (1) resolution and interpretability of moveout spectra, (2) quality of CMP stacked sections, and (3) computation of velocity and depth for inverse modeling.

We present a gauged Lifshitz Lagrangian including second- and fourth-order spatial derivatives of the scalar field and a Chern–Simons term, and study nontrivial solutions of the classical equations of motion. While the coefficient β of the fourth-order term should be positive in order to guarantee positivity of the energy, the coefficient α of the quadratic one need not be. We investigate the parameter domains and find significant differences in the field behaviors. Apart from the usual vortex field behavior of the ordinary relativistic Chern–Simons–Higgs model, we find in certain parameter domains oscillatory solutions reminiscent of the modulated phases of Lifshitz systems.
