abstract

Q-ball is a non-topological soliton whose stability is ensured by global U(1) symmetry. We study a Q-ball which arises in the Affleck-Dine mechanism for baryogenesis and consider its possible instability due to U(1) breaking term ($A$-term) indispensable for successful baryogenesis. It is found that the instability destroys the Q-ball if its growth rate exceeds inverse of the typical relaxation time scale of the Q-ball. However, the instability is not so strong as it obstructs the cosmological formation of the Q-balls.

    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.
