Oscillons in a simple, 1-dimensional scalar field theory with a cubic potential are discussed. The theory has a classical sphaleron, whose decay generates a version of the oscillon. A good approximation to the small-amplitude oscillon is constructed explicitly using the asymptotic expansion of Fodor et al., but for larger amplitudes a better approximation uses the discrete, unstable and stable deformation modes of the sphaleron.

  1. Oscillons from $Q$-balls

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Oscillons in (1+1) dimensions are shown, at leading nonlinear order, to arise from universal Q-ball solutions, with modulated oscillons described by two-Q-ball bound states of the complex sine-Gordon model.

  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.
