Understanding the nonlinear dynamics of coupled scalar fields often necessitates simulations on a 3D mesh. These simulations can be computationally expensive if a large scale separation is involved. A common solution is adaptive mesh refinement which, however, greatly increases a simulation's complexity. In this work, we present sledgehamr, an AMReX-based code package to make the simulation of coupled scalar fields on an adaptive mesh more accessible. Compatible with both GPU and CPU clusters, sledgehamr offers a flexible and customizable framework. While the code had been primarily developed to evolve axion string networks, this framework enables various other applications, such as the study of gravitational waves sourced by the dynamics of scalar fields.

  1. Constant Scaling Fails for Global Monopole Networks

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Global monopole networks exhibit logarithmic growth in the number-density parameter ξ rather than constant scaling, with fractional response γ ≈ 0.5 for blue-tilted initial spectra.

  2. Feebly-Interacting Peccei-Quinn Model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A feebly-interacting PQ scalar with large wave-function renormalization can generate a large axion decay constant while keeping all mass scales near the TeV scale, predicting a light PQ Higgs and new dark matter scenarios.

  3. CosmoLattice 2.0

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    CosmoLattice v2.0 extends lattice cosmology simulations with non-minimal scalars, ALP–gauge couplings, defect networks, low-storage RK integrators, optimized GWs, and O(10) GPU speedups.

  4. The art of simulating the early Universe. Part III: Scalar-Gauge-Fluid Dynamics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Detailed continuum-to-lattice schemes are given for perfect/imperfect fluids alone or coupled to scalars/gauges in FLRW, enabling self-consistent CosmoLattice simulations of early-Universe plasma dynamics and GWs.
