The authority of J. A. Wheeler in many areas of gravitational physics is immense, and there is a connection with the study of relic gravitational waves as well. I begin with a brief description of Wheeler's influence on this study. One part…
Coalescing black-hole binaries are expected to be the strongest sources of gravitational waves for ground-based interferometers as well as the space-based interferometer LISA. Recent progress in numerical relativity now makes it possible to…

We construct Q-ball solutions from a model consisting of one massive scalar field $\xi$ and one massive complex scalar field $\phi$ interacting via the cubic couplings $g_1 \xi \phi^{*} \phi + g_2 \xi^3$, typical of Henon-Heiles-like…

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 $Q$.…

It was proposed that acoustic perturbations generated by the QCD phase transition could create an inverse turbulent cascade \cite{Kalaydzhyan:2014wca}. An assumption was that propagation toward smaller momenta could reach the wavelength of…
