Unitarity and the Vainshtein Mechanism
Nemanja Kaloper, Antonio Padilla, Paul Saffin +1
We investigate low energy limits of massive gauge theories that feature the Vainshtein mechanism, focussing on the effects of the UV modes that are integrated out. It turns out tha…
Charge-Swapping Q-balls
Edmund J. Copeland, Paul M. Saffin, Shuang-Yong Zhou
Q-balls are non-topological solitonic solutions to a wide class of field theories that possess global symmetries. Here we show that in these same theories there also exists a tower…
Oscillon Lifetime in the Presence of Quantum Fluctuations
Paul M. Saffin, Paul Tognarelli, Anders Tranberg
We consider the stability of oscillons in 2+1 space-time dimensions, in the presence of quantum fluctuations. Taking the oscillon to be the inhomogeneous mean field of a self-inter…
