Perturbations of Q-balls: from spectral structure to radiation pressure (2024)
Journal Article
Ciurla, D., Dorey, P., Romańczukiewicz, T., & Shnir, Y. (2024). Perturbations of Q-balls: from spectral structure to radiation pressure. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024(7), Article 196. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep07%282024%29196

We investigate Q-balls in a 1+1 dimensional complex scalar field theory. We find that the relaxation of a squashed Q-ball is dominated by the decay of a normal mode through nonlinear coupling to scattering modes and a long-lasting quasi-normal mode....

Oscillons in gapless theories (2024)
Journal Article
Dorey, P., Romańczukiewicz, T., Shnir, Y., & Wereszczyński, A. (2024). Oscillons in gapless theories. Physical Review D, 109(8), Article 085017. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.109.085017

We show that large scale oscillons, i.e., quasiperiodic, long-living particlelike solutions, may exist in massless theories, too. Their existence is explained using an effective (smeared) mass threshold which takes into account nonlinear (finite) per... Read More about Oscillons in gapless theories.

From tree- to loop-simplicity in affine Toda theories II: higher-order poles and cut decompositions (2023)
Journal Article
Dorey, P., & Polvara, D. (2023). From tree- to loop-simplicity in affine Toda theories II: higher-order poles and cut decompositions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023(10), Article 177. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282023%29177

Recently we showed how, in two-dimensional scalar theories, one-loop threshold diagrams can be cut into the product of one or more tree-level diagrams [1]. Using this method on the ADE series of Toda models, we computed the double- and single-pole co...

We investigate soliton collisions in a one-parameter family of scalar field theories in 1+1 dimensions which was first discussed by Christ and Lee. The models have a sextic potential with three local minima, and for suitably small values of the param... Read More about Collisions of weakly-bound kinks in the Christ-Lee model.

We study kink-antikink collisions in a model which interpolates smoothly between the completely integrable sine-Gordon theory, the ϕ4 model, and a ϕ6-like model with three degenerate vacua. We find a rich variety of behaviours, including integrabilit... Read More about Resonance structures in kink-antikink collisions in a deformed sine-Gordon model.

Staccato radiation from the decay of large amplitude oscillons (2020)

We find that narrow quasinormal modes can store energy during collision processes and later return it to the t... Read More about Resonant kink-antikink scattering through quasinormal modes.
