Non-topological solitons in brane world models
arXiv:hep-ph/0111061 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.67.045012
Abstract
We examine some general properties of a certain class of scalar filed theory models containing non-topological soliton solutions in the context of brane world models with compact large extra dimensions. If a scalar field is allowed to propagate in extra space, then, beside standard Kaluza-Klein type excitations, a whole new class of very massive soliton-type states can exist. Depending on their abundance, they can be important dark matter candidates or give significant contribution to entropy and energy density in our universe. .
