We present a new class of oscillons in the (1+1)-dimensional signum-Gordon model. The oscillons periodically move to and fro in the space. They have finite total energy, finite size, and are strictly periodic in time. The corresponding…

We consider the stability of oscillons in 2+1 space-time dimensions, in the presence of quantum fluctuations. Taking the oscillon to be the inhomogeneous mean field of a self-interacting quantum scalar field, we compare its classical…

We present single soliton states and soliton-antisoliton states with an adjoint Higgs field in 4D flat space. The action of a single soliton state diverges, while the action of soliton-antisoliton states converges. This means such solitons…

The $\phi^4$ model has been the "workhorse" of the classical Ginzburg--Landau phenomenological theory of phase transitions and, furthermore, the foundation for a large amount of the now-classical developments in nonlinear science. However,…

We study oscillon/I-ball solutions in a real scalar version of the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin (FLS) model. Using the two-timing analysis, we derive the conditions for oscillon solutions and explore multi-field oscillon configurations. In these…
