Theories with low-energy supersymmetry predict the existence of stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls, that can contribute to dark matter. We discuss the experimental signatures, methods of detection, and the present limits on such dark…
We present the full nonlinear calculation of the formation of a Q-ball through the Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism by numerical simulations. It is shown that large Q-balls are actually produced by the fragmentation of the condensate of a scalar…
For the linear string baryon model $q$-$q$-$q$ the small disturbances of its rotational motion (quasirotational states) are investigated. The spectrum of these states is obtained in the form of Fourier series and the complex…
Periodic orbits for the classical $\phi^4$ theory on the one dimensional lattice are systematically constructed by extending the normal modes of the harmonic theory, for periodic, fixed and free boundary conditions. Through the process, we…
We study charge-swapping Q-balls, a kind of composite Q-ball where positive and negative charges co-exist and swap with time, in models with a logarithmic potential that arises naturally in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model.…
In this paper, we present a detailed study of the problem of classical stability of U(1) gauged Q-balls. In particular, we show that the standard methods that are suitable for establishing the classical stability criterion for ordinary…

We present numerical evidence for the existence of spinning generalizations for non-topological Q-ball solitons in the theory of a complex scalar field with a non-renormalizable self-interaction. To the best of our knowledge, this provides…
We study the structure of the energy-momentum tensor of radial excitations of Q-balls in scalar field theories with U(1) symmetry. The obtained numerical results for the $1\le N \le 23$ excitations allow us to study in detail patterns how…
We examine the spectrum of small perturbations around global and local (gauge) abelian vortices, using simple numerical matrix techniques. The results are of interest for both cosmic strings and for their condensed matter analogues,…
We show that in the complex $\phi^6$ theory the oscillon, together with its spectral structure and the amplitude modulation, arises from the exited Q-ball carrying the bound and the quasi-normal modes.
The perturbation theory is developed based on small parameters which naturally appear in solid state quantum computation. We report the simulations of the dynamics of quantum logic operations with a large number of qubits (up to 1000). A…
In a series of recent works Ishihara and Ogawa have investigated non-topological solitons (Q-balls) in a spontaneously broken Abelian gauge theory coupled to two complex scalar fields. The present paper extends their investigations to the…
Limit-periodic structures are well ordered but nonperiodic, and hence have nontrivial vibrational modes. We study a ball and spring model with a limit-periodic pattern of spring stiffnesses and identify a set of extended modes with…
Coupled multi-component $\mathbb{C}P^N$ models with V-shaped potentials are analyzed. It is shown that the model has solutions being combinations of compact Q-balls and Q-shells. The compact nature of solutions permits the existence of…
We study dynamics of flat directions in the minimal supersymmetric standard model taking account of its constituent fields. It is found that there exist new instabilities due to the D-term potential and the nature of these instabilities…
We show that, in the thin-wall regime, $Q$-ball--anti-$Q$-ball collisions reveal chaotic behaviour. This is explained by the resonant energy transfer mechanism triggered by the internal modes hosted by the $Q$-balls and by the existence of…
In this paper we consider a general theory of k-inlation and find out, that it may be in strong coupling regime. We derive accurate conditions of classical description validity using unitarity bounds for this model. Next, we choose simple…
We examine quantum decay of localized vibrations in anharmonic crystal lattice. The theory which describes two-phonon anharmonic relaxation can be applied both to local modes associated with substitutional impurity and to intrinsic local…
