Proca Q-balls and Q-shells
Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman, Rebecca Riley +1
Non-topological solitons such as Q-balls and Q-shells have been studied for scalar fields invariant under global and gauged U(1) symmetries. We generalize this framework to include…
Mapping Gauged Q-Balls
Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman, Rebecca Riley +1
Scalar field theories with particular U(1)-symmetric potentials contain non-topological soliton solutions called Q-balls. Promoting the U(1) to a gauge symmetry leads to the more c…
Understanding Q-Balls Beyond the Thin-Wall Limit
Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman, Rebecca Riley +1
Complex scalar fields charged under a global U(1) symmetry can admit non-topological soliton configurations called Q-balls which are stable against decay into individual particles…
