abstract

Consider a classical (1+1)-dimensional oscillon of small amplitude $\epsilon$. To all orders in $\epsilon$, the oscillon solution is exactly periodic. We study small perturbations of such periodic configurations. These perturbations are themselves periodic up to a monodromy matrix. We explicitly find the eigenvectors of the monodromy matrix, which are the analogues of normal modes for oscillons. Dashen, Hasslacher and Neveu used such eigenvectors to quantize the sine-Gordon breather, and we suspect that they will be necessary to quantize the oscillon. Our results, regardless of the chosen model, suggest that low amplitude oscillons do not reflect small amplitude radiation.

  1. Effective Actions for Domain Wall Dynamics

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The effective action for domain walls, including higher-curvature corrections and a bound-state coupling to worldsheet curvature, is derived from the scalar field theory and matched to lattice simulations.

  2. Oscillon Floquet Modes and the Operators that Excite Them

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Relativistic Floquet modes of the oscillon are expressed in elementary functions, and their quantum creation/annihilation operators are shown to satisfy the oscillator algebra at the computed order.

  3. An Extended Soliton's Zero Modes

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For infinitely extended solitons the translation zero mode can be given a normalizable wave function, and the resulting Stokes scattering probability for exciting a string's translation mode is computed.
