Inflaton Fragmentation and Oscillon Formation in Three Dimensions
Mustafa A. Amin, Richard Easther, Hal Finkel
Analytical arguments suggest that a large class of scalar field potentials permit the existence of oscillons -- pseudo-stable, non-topological solitons -- in three spatial dimensio…

Inflaton fragmentation: Emergence of pseudo-stable inflaton lumps (oscillons) after inflation
Mustafa A. Amin
We investigate the emergence of large, localized, pseudo-stable configurations (oscillons) from inflaton fragmentation at the end of inflation. We predict the number density of lar…

Flat-top oscillons in an expanding universe
Mustafa A. Amin, David Shirokoff
Oscillons are extremely long lived, oscillatory, spatially localized field configurations that arise from generic initial conditions in a large number of non-linear field theories.…
