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 (D+1D+1) dimensions for two interacting scalar field theories in the so-called Standard Model-Extension context. We show that DD-dimensional scalar field lumps can present a typical size RminRKKR_{\min }\ll R_{KK}, where RKKR_{KK} is the associated length scale of extra dimensions in Kaluza-Klein theories. Here, the size RminR_{\min } 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 RminR_{\min}, 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 DD -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 RminR_{\min } 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 RminR_{\min } tends to be compact.
