Configurational entropy as a lifetime predictor and pattern discriminator for oscillons

Journal Article Gleiser, Marcelo ; Stephens, Michelle ; Sowinski, Damian - Physical Review D

Oscillons are long-lived, spherically symmetric, attractor scalar field configurations that emerge as certain field configurations evolve in time. It has been known for many years that there is a direct correlation between the initial configuration’s shape and the resulting oscillon lifetime: a shape memory. In this paper, we use an information-entropic measure of spatial complexity known as differential configurational entropy (DCE) to obtain estimates of oscillon lifetimes in scalar field theories with symmetric and asymmetric double-well potentials. The time-dependent DCE is built from the Fourier transform of the two-point correlation function of the energy density of the scalar field configuration.more »« less

Inflaton fragmentation and oscillon formation in three dimensions

Journal Article Amin, Mustafa A. ; Easther, Richard ; Finkel, Hal, E-mail: mamin@mit.edu, E-mail: richard.easther@yale.edu, E-mail: hal.finkel@yale.edu - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Analytical arguments suggest that a large class of scalar field potentials permit the existence of oscillons — pseudo-stable, non-topological solitons — in three spatial dimensions. In this paper we numerically explore oscillon solutions in three dimensions. We confirm the existence of these field configurations as solutions to the Klein-Gorden equation in an expanding background, and verify the predictions of Amin and Shirokoff [1] for the characteristics of individual oscillons for their model. Further, we demonstrate that significant numbers of oscillons can be generated via fragmentation of the inflaton condensate, consistent with the analysis of Amin [2]. These emergent oscillons canmore »« less

Oscillons and domain walls

Journal Article Hindmarsh, Mark ; Salmi, Petja ; Lorentz Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Leiden, P.O. Box 9506, 2300 RA Leiden - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Oscillons, extremely long-lived localized oscillations of a scalar field, are shown to be produced by evolving domain wall networks in {phi}{sup 4} theory in two spatial dimensions. We study the oscillons in frequency space using the classical spectral function at zero momentum, and obtain that the velocity distribution is suppressed as {gamma}{sup -2} at large Lorentz factor {gamma}, with oscillons produced up to at least {gamma}{approx}10. This leads us to speculate that oscillons are produced at cusps, regions of the domain wall travelling near the speed of light. In order to gain some insight onto the dilute oscillon 'gas' producedmore »« less

Quantum radiation of oscillons

Journal Article Hertzberg, Mark P. - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Many classical scalar field theories possess remarkable solutions: coherently oscillating, localized clumps, known as oscillons. In many cases, the decay rate of classical small amplitude oscillons is known to be exponentially suppressed and so they are extremely long lived. In this work we compute the decay rate of quantized oscillons. We find it to be a power law in the amplitude and couplings of the theory. Therefore, the quantum decay rate is very different to the classical decay rate and is often dominant. We show that essentially all oscillons eventually decay by producing outgoing radiation. In single field theories themore »« less
