For scalar theories accommodating spherically symmetric Q-balls, there are also towers of quasi-stable composite Q-balls, called charge swapping Q-balls (CSQs). We investigate the properties, particularly the lifetimes, of these long-lived CSQs in 2+1D and 3+1D using numerical simulations with efficient second order absorbing boundary conditions. We find that the evolution of a CSQ typically consists of 4 distinct stages: initial relaxation, first plateau (CSQ stage), fast decay and second plateau (oscillon stage). We chart the lifetimes of CSQs for different parameters of the initial conditions and of the potential, and show the attractor behavior and other properties of the CSQs.

  1. Dipoles and chains of solitons in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Stable dipolar boson stars and flat-space Q-ball chains are constructed in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model, and chains beyond the dipole are found unstable in tested cases.

  2. Quantum fields in boson star spacetime

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In boson star spacetimes, the renormalized quantum stress tensor has mostly positive energy density and negative radial pressure that grow with curvature, rivaling the classical stress in the most compact solutions.

  3. Non-topological solitons and quasi-solitons

    hep-th 2024-11 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    A comprehensive review of non-topological solitons (Q-balls) and quasi-solitons (oscillons), their properties, dynamics, and roles in early-universe physics.
