Sine-Gordon threshold kink-antikink solution

ID: sine-gordon-threshold-kink-antikink-solution

The zero-relative-speed limit of the Sine-Gordon kink-antikink scattering solution is a separatrix at twice the rest-kink energy. A Sine-Gordon Bäcklund transformation of the static kink with equal parameter gives , for , hence the displayed solution. The two asymptotic transitions separate logarithmically in time and their speeds tend to zero; this is not a finite-period Sine-Gordon breather.
