At-rest force for a symmetric phi-four pair

ID: at-rest-force-for-a-symmetric-phi-four-pair

For the initial field and zero initial time derivative, evaluate the scalar-field momentum flux at the midpoint: and . The force on the left kink is the displayed positive value, attractive toward the right antikink. This exact initial expression has the large-separation asymptotic for . If the initial velocity at the cut is , subtract .
