We investigate the longevity of oscillons numerically, paying particular attention to radially-symmetric oscillons that have been conjectured to have an infinitely-long lifetime. In two spatial dimensions, oscillons have not been seen to decay. In three spatial dimensions, specific initial Gaussian configurations seem to lead to oscillons with spikes in lifetime that have been conjectured to be infinite. We study such ``resonant'' oscillons in two and three spatial dimensions, applying two tests to study their longevity: parametric resonance and virialization. Without offering a formal proof, our numerical results, within their precision, offer support for the conjecture that, in both dimensions, resonant oscillons may be infinitely long-lived.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The rapid decay of an oscillon-dominated post-inflation phase produces induced gravitational waves strong enough that the BBN/CMB bound on relativistic species excludes significant regions of inflaton mass–coupling pa...

  2. Resonances in Lifetimes of AdS Oscillon

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    AdS oscillon lifetimes show resonance peaks both in initial core size and in spacetime curvature radius, with fitted logarithmic exponents and bifurcating peaks under reflected waves.
