abstract

We show that the low-momentum scattering of vortex-antivortex pairs can lead to very long-lived oscillon states in 2d Abelian Higgs models. The emergence of oscillons is controlled by the ratio of scalar and vector field masses, $\beta=(m_s/m_v)^2$ and can be described as a phase transition in field configuration space with critical value $\beta_c\simeq 0.13(6)\pm 2 $: only models with $\beta<\beta_c$ lead to oscillon-like remnants. The critical behavior of the system obeys a power law $O(\beta)\sim |\beta-\beta_c|^o$, where $O$ is an order parameter indicating the presence of oscillons and $o = 0.2(2)\pm 2 $ is the critical exponent.

  1. Resonance phenomena in vortex-antivortex collisions

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Vortex–antivortex collisions in the deep type-II Abelian-Higgs model show multi-bounce windows embedded in annihilation regions, driven by a Feshbach resonant mode.

  2. Unified theory of oscillons and modes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

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

  3. Oscillons and bubbles in $Q$-ball dynamics

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the thin-wall regime, Q-ball-anti-Q-ball collisions are chaotic, driven by internal bound modes and ephemeral states, with false-vacuum bubbles stabilized by Goldstone modes as key intermediates.
