We present numerical evidence for the existence of spinning generalizations for non-topological Q-ball solitons in the theory of a complex scalar field with a non-renormalizable self-interaction. To the best of our knowledge, this provides the first explicit example of spinning solitons in 3+1 dimensional Minkowski space. In addition, we find an infinite discrete family of radial excitations of non-rotating Q-balls, and construct also spinning Q-balls in 2+1 dimensions.

  1. Spin Polarization of Proca Stars Formed by Gravitational Bose--Einstein Condensation

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Gravitationally condensed Proca stars exhibit partial spin polarization controlled by the elliptical polarization of the dominant component-space mode, with ensemble mean χ_net ≈ 0.62 and large realization-to-realizat...

  2. Spin Polarization of Proca Stars Formed by Gravitational Bose--Einstein Condensation

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Gravitationally condensed Proca stars are sizably but not maximally spin-polarized, with core spin set by random elliptical polarization of the dominant mode rather than a universal fraction.

  3. Quantum-Corrected Q-balls in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin Model

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hartree quantum fluctuations in 3+1D simulations of the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model produce a regime where fluctuations carry significant Noether charge, periodic charge exchange occurs, and some classically stable Q-b...

  4. Gauged Q-balls in flat potentials

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    Gauged Q-balls in flat potentials are qualitatively similar to thin-wall versions, with analytic approximations matching numerics and Proca Q-balls interpolating between global and gauged regimes.
