Q-balls with Multiple Charges and Cores
Olivier Lennon
Q-balls -- whether in the single-field or multi-field context -- are usually studied in theories containing only one stabilising symmetry. However, this is not the most general sce…

Multi-Field Q-balls with Real Scalars
Olivier Lennon
Multi-field Q-balls, in which some, but not all, of the constituent fields are real scalars, are studied. Uncharged fields may classically contribute to Q-balls provided that their…

Non-Canonical Q-balls
Olivier Lennon
Theories possessing non-canonical kinetic terms are often studied for Q-ball states in an ad-hoc manner. This paper seeks to generalise their study for both thin- and thick-wall Q-…
