Collision Dynamics of False-Vacuum Oscillons

Azadeh Mohammadi, J. G. F. Campos, N. S. Manton

Oscillon collisions in false-vacuum scalar theories can trigger phase transitions to the true vacuum by forming kink-antikink pairs.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

In the normal theory, if the oscillons have sufficient energy, the field can pass over a sphaleron barrier and evolve into a kink-antikink pair, initiating a phase transition to the true vacuum.

C2weakest assumption

The small-amplitude Fodor et al. expansion produces oscillon profiles whose collision dynamics remain qualitatively accurate even when the objects carry enough energy to surmount the sphaleron barrier.

C3one line summary

Oscillon collisions in false-vacuum scalar theories produce reflection, crossing, resonance windows, and can initiate true-vacuum phase transitions when energy suffices.
