Oscillon collapse to black holes
Zainab Nazari, Michele Cicoli, Katy Clough +1
Using numerical relativity simulations we study the dynamics of pseudo-topological objects called oscillons for a class of models inspired by axion-monodromy. Starting from free fi…
New accelerating solutions in late-time cosmology
Michele Cicoli, Giuseppe Dibitetto, Francisco G. Pedro
Dark energy models can be seen as dynamical systems. In this paper we show that multi-field models with a curved field space give rise to new critical points and we analyse their s…
The Fate of Dense Scalar Stars
Francesco Muia, Michele Cicoli, Katy Clough +3
Long-lived pseudo-solitonic objects, known as oscillons/oscillatons, which we collectively call real scalar stars, are ubiquitous in early Universe cosmology of scalar field theori…
