A few quasi-exactly solvable models are studied within the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. By assuming a simple singularity structure of the quantum momentum function, we show that the exact quantization condition leads to the condition…
We discuss our results on scalar glueball decay in the top-down holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model for low-energy QCD and compare with available experimental data, which appear to disfavor the glueball candidate $f_0(1500)$ but seem to…
As a new type of dynamical dark matter mechanism, we discuss the stability of the gauged Q-ball dark matter and its production mechanism through a cosmological first-order phase transition. This work delves into the study of gauged Q-ball…
Analytic and numerical results for quasiperiodic tight-binding models are reviewed, with emphasis on two and three-dimensional models which so far are beyond a mathematically rigorous treatment. In particular, we consider energy spectra of…

Collisions of non-topological solitons, Q-balls, are studied in a typical potential in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where supersymmetry has been broken by a gravitationally coupled hidden sector. Q-ball collisions are studied…
The quest for an approximate yet accurate kinetic energy density functional is central to the development of orbital-free density functional theory. While a recipe for closed-shell systems has been proposed earlier, we have shown that it…
We show that non-topological solitons, known as Q-balls, are promising candidates for self-interacting dark matter. They can satisfy the cross-section requirements for a broad range of masses. Unlike previously considered examples, Q-balls…
We summarize the main properties of the so called ''abnormal solutions'' of the Wick--Cutkosky model, i.e. two massive scalar particles interacting via massless scalar exchange ("photons"), within the Bethe--Salpeter equation. These…

Spatially-bound objects across diverse length and energy scales are characterized by a binding energy. We propose that their spatial structure is mathematically encoded as information in their momentum modes and described by a measure known…
A new method is given for the model-space effective interaction. Introducing a new operator in place of the Q-box in the Krenciglowa-Kuo (KK) method, we derive a new equation for the effective interaction. This equation can be viewed as an…
For the scalar Wick-Cutkosky model in the particle representation we perform a similar variational calculation for the 2-point function as was done by Feynman for the polaron problem. We employ a quadratic nonlocal trial action with a…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of Q-balls, some of which can be entirely stable. Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can result in a copious production of stable baryonic Q-balls, which can presently exist as a…
A quantum group analysis is applied to the Sine-Gordon model (or may be its version) in a strong-coupling regime. Infinitely many bound states are found together with the corresponding S-matrices. These new solutions of the Yang-Baxter…
Q-balls are non-topological solitons arising in scalar field theories. Solutions for rotating Q-balls (and the related boson stars) have been shown to exist when the angular momentum is equal to an integer multiple of the Q-ball charge $Q$.…
We perform a general analysis of thin-wall Q-balls in AdS space. We provide numeric solutions and highly accurate analytic approximations over much of the parameter space. These analytic solutions show that AdS Q-balls exhibit significant…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of Q-balls, some of which can be entirely stable. Both stable and unstable Q-balls can play an important role in cosmology. In particular, Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can…
For scalar theories accommodating spherically symmetric Q-balls, there are also towers of quasi-stable composite Q-balls, called charge swapping Q-balls (CSQs). We investigate the properties, particularly the lifetimes, of these long-lived…
We propose a practical method for analyzing stability of Q-balls for the whole parameter space, which includes the intermediate region between the thin-wall limit and thick-wall limit as well as Q-bubbles (Q-balls in false vacuum), using…
