We find that there exists a soliton-like solution ``I-ball'' in theories of a real scalar field if the scalar potential satisfies appropriate conditions. Although the I-ball does not have any topological or global U(1) charges, its stability is ensured by the adiabatic invariance for the oscillating field.

  1. Multi-field oscillons/I-balls in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Multi-field oscillons in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model form bound states of two co-located oscillons that oscillate at their respective masses due to attractive interactions.
