Complex scalar fields charged under approximate $U(1)$ symmetries appear in well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. One example is the field that contains the QCD axion field associated with the Peccei-Quinn symmetry; others…
Oscillons are localized, non-singular, time-dependent, spherically-symmetric solutions of nonlinear scalar field theories which, although unstable, are extremely long-lived. We show that they naturally appear during the collapse of…
We present a comprehensive, nonperturbative analytical method to investigate the dynamics of time-dependent oscillating scalar field configurations. The method is applied to oscillons in a double well Klein-Gordon model in two and three…
Oscillons are spatially localised strong fluctuations of a scalar field. They can e.g. form after inflation when the scalar field potential is shallower than quadratic away from the minimum. Although oscillons are not protected by topology,…
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…
I-balls/oscillons are long-lived and spatially localized solutions of real scalar fields. They are produced in various contexts of the early universe in, such as, the inflaton evolution and the axion evolution. However, their decay process…
The radiation loss of small amplitude oscillons (very long-living, spatially localized, time dependent solutions) in one dimensional scalar field theories is computed in the small-amplitude expansion analytically using matched asymptotic…
The topological structure of field theory often makes inevitable the existence of stable and unstable localised solutions of the field equations. These are minima and saddle points of the energy. Saddle point solutions occurring this way…
Oscillons are long-lived, spherically symmetric solitons that can arise in real scalar field theories with potentials shallower than quadratic ones. They are considered to form via parametric resonance during the preheating stage after…

We present a mesoscale field theory unifying the modeling of growth, elasticity, and dislocations in quasicrystals. The theory is based on the amplitudes entering their density-wave representation. We introduce a free energy functional for…
The mode problem on the factored 3--sphere is applied to field theory calculations for massless fields of spin 0, 1/2 and 1. The degeneracies on the factors, including lens spaces, are neatly derived in a geometric fashion. Vacuum energies…
We demonstrate the existence of a single pseudo-scalar (PS) field in the mathematically backed and parity preserving modifications of the standard St${\ddot u}$ckelberg formalism (SSF) in the context of the Lagrangian formulation of the (i)…
We present a novel theory of the very early universe which addresses the traditional horizon and flatness problems of big bang cosmology and predicts a scale invariant spectrum of perturbations. Unlike inflation, this scenario requires no…
I-ball/oscillon is a soliton-like oscillating configuration of a real scalar field which lasts for a long time. I-ball/oscillon is a minimum energy state for a given adiabatic invariant, and its approximate conservation guarantees the…
The solution to the current extending Universe problem, and the description of all stages of evolution compels scientists to consider various cosmological models. Scalar - tensor models are rather simple and also allow us to clearly define…
The standard spinor connection in curved space-time is represented in a compact form. In this form the calculation is complicated, and its physical effects are concealed. In this paper, we split spinor connection into two vectors…
We construct sphaleron solutions with discrete symmetries in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a dilaton. Related to rational maps of degree N, these platonic sphalerons can be assigned a Chern-Simons number Q=N/2. We present sphaleron…
