Quasi-breathers (QB) are time-periodic solutions with weak spatial localization introduced in G. Fodor et al. in Phys. Rev. D. 74, 124003 (2006). QB's provide a simple description of oscillons (very long-living spatially localized time dependent solutions). The small amplitude limit of QB's is worked out in a large class of scalar theories with a general self-interaction potential, in $D$ spatial dimensions. It is shown that the problem of small amplitude QB's is reduced to a universal elliptic partial differential equation. It is also found that there is the critical dimension, $D_{crit}=4$, above which no small amplitude QB's exist. The QB's obtained this way are shown to provide very good initial data for oscillons. Thus these QB's provide the solution of the complicated, nonlinear time dependent problem of small amplitude oscillons in scalar theories.

  1. Oscillon Floquet Modes and the Operators that Excite Them

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  2. Unified theory of oscillons and modes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Oscillons are reinterpreted as localized resonant modes from threshold or antibound modes via nonlinearity, with wobblerons as new kink-oscillon bound states.

  3. 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.

  4. Dynamical Boson Stars

    gr-qc 2012-02 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.
