The inflaton condensate associated with a global symmetry can fragment into quasistable Q balls, provided the inflaton oscillations give rise to an effective equation of state with negative pressure. We study chaotic inflation with a running inflaton mass and show that, depending on the sign of the radiative mass correction, the process of fragmentation into inflatonic Q balls can actually take place even though no net charge exists. If the main decay channel of the Q ball is to fermions, the universe will be reheated slowly via surface evaporation.

    Q-balls under spontaneously broken U(1) can leak charge through the Nambu-Goldstone channel and end as smaller Q-balls, oscillons, or decaying configurations, with stable remnants for small symmetry-breaking scales.
