New physics in a nutshell, or Q-ball as a power plant
read the original abstract
Future experiments may discover new scalar particles with global charges and couplings that allow for solitonic states. If the effective potential has flat directions, the scalar VEV inside a large Q-ball can exceed the particle mass by many orders of magnitude. Models with low-energy supersymmetry breaking generically have both the scalars carrying some global charges, and the flat directions. The Q-ball interior can, therefore, provide an environment for exploring physics far beyond the TeV scale without the need for building colliders of ever-increasing energies. Some Standard Model processes, otherwise strongly suppressed, can also be studied inside the soliton, where the SU(2) symmetry can be restored, and the quark confinement may be absent. Baryon number violating processes catalyzed by the large VEV inside the Q-ball can provide an inexhaustible energy resource.

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 ...

Gauged Q-balls in flat potentials
Gauged Q-balls in flat potentials are qualitatively similar to thin-wall versions, with analytic approximations matching numerics and Proca Q-balls interpolating between global and gauged regimes.

Fermion Condensate Inflation, Dynamical Waterfall Mechanism and Primordial Black Holes
Torsion-induced fermion condensate produces hybrid inflation with axial-chemical-potential waterfall, Q-ball PBH seeds, and parity-violating signatures in Chern-Simons gravity.
