D-Oscillons in the Standard Model-Extension
Abstract
In this work we investigate the consequences of the Lorentz symmetry violation on extremely long-living, time-dependent, and spatially localized field configurations, named oscillons. This is accomplished in () dimensions for two interacting scalar field theories in the so-called Standard Model-Extension context. We show that -dimensional scalar field lumps can present a typical size , where is the associated length scale of extra dimensions in Kaluza-Klein theories. Here, the size is shown to strongly depend on the terms that control the Lorentz violation of the theory. This implies either contraction or dilation of the average radius , and a new rule for its composition, likewise. Moreover, we show that the spatial dimensions for existence of oscillating lumps have an upper limit, opening new possibilities to probe the existence of a -dimensional oscillons at TeV energy scale. Moreover, in a cosmological scenario with Lorentz symmetry breaking, we argue that in the early Universe with an extremely high energy density and a strong Lorentz violation, the typical size was highly dilated. With the expansion and subsequent cooling of the Universe, we propose that it passed through a phase transition towards a Lorentz symmetry, wherein tends to be compact.
