Analytical Characterization of Oscillon Energy and Lifetime
Marcelo Gleiser, David Sicilia
We develop an analytical procedure to compute all relevant physical properties of scalar field oscillons in models with quartic polynomial potentials: energy, radius, frequency, co…

Bubbling the False Vacuum Away
Marcelo Gleiser, Barrett Rogers, Joel Thorarinson
We investigate the role of nonperturbative, bubble-like inhomogeneities on the decay rate of false-vacuum states in two and three-dimensional scalar field theories. The inhomogenei…

A Phase Transition in U(1) Configuration Space: Oscillons as Remnants of Vortex-Antivortex Annihilation
Marcelo Gleiser, Joel Thorarinson
We show that the low-momentum scattering of vortex-antivortex pairs can lead to very long-lived oscillon states in 2d Abelian Higgs models. The emergence of oscillons is controlled…
