We present the full nonlinear calculation of the formation of a Q-ball through the Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism by numerical simulations. It is shown that large Q-balls are actually produced by the fragmentation of the condensate of a scalar field whose potential is very flat. We find that the typical size of a Q-ball is determined by the most developed mode of linearized fluctuations, and almost all the initial charges which the AD condensate carries are absorbed into the formed Q-balls, whose sizes and the charges depend only on the initial charge densities.

Reviving the Affleck-Dine Curvaton Scenario with Compensated Isocurvature Perturbations
The Affleck-Dine field can act as both baryogenesis engine and curvaton if gravitino dark matter, produced before curvaton decay, supplies the compensating isocurvature perturbation that hides the baryon isocurvature ...

Quantum-Corrected Q-balls in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin Model
Hartree quantum fluctuations in 3+1D simulations of the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model produce a regime where fluctuations carry significant Noether charge, periodic charge exchange occurs, and some classically stable Q-b...

Hydrodynamic properties in soliton field theory
Soliton formation in complex scalar field theory is framed as sound-mode-induced phase separation, and cylindrical Q-strings are shown to suffer a Rayleigh-Plateau membrane instability that breaks them into spheres.

PQ-ball and its Real Scalar Analogue in an Expanding Universe
3+1D lattice simulations show PQ-balls form from a rotating complex scalar and decay faster for stronger symmetry breaking, with lifetimes roughly scaling as v^4.

Decay rate of PQ-ball
PQ-balls, Q-balls in a spontaneously broken U(1) theory, are metastable in vacuum and decay at a rate proportional to the square of their asymptotic field value.

Q-balls Under Spontaneously Broken U(1) Symmetry
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.

Hydrodynamic and Rayleigh-Plateau instabilities of Q-strings
Cylindrical Q-strings are linearly unstable to long-wavelength axial perturbations, with a threshold that matches the Rayleigh-Plateau instability λc=2πR for thin-wall solitons.
