Abstract

We use the Galilean covariance formalism to obtain the Galilean complex Sine-Gordon equation in 1+1 dimensions,Ψxx (1-Ψ*Ψ)+2imΨ +Ψ*Ψ2 x – Ψ (1-Ψ*Ψ)2 = 0. We determine its Lie point symmetries, discuss some groupinvariant solutions, and examine some soliton solutions.We also discuss the coupling of this field with Galilean electromagnetism. This work is motivated in part by recent applications of the relativistic complex Sine-Gordon equation to the dynamics of Q-balls.
