abstract
The evolution of spherically symmetric unstable scalar field configurations (``bubbles'') is examined for both symmetric (SDWP) and asymmetric (ADWP) double-well potentials. Bubbles with initial static energies $E_0\la E_{{\rm crit}}$, where $E_{{\rm crit}}$ is some critical value, shrink in a time scale determined by their linear dimension, or ``radius''. Bubbles with $E_0\ga E_{{\rm crit}}$ evolve into time-dependent, localized configurations which are {\it very} long-lived compared to characteristic time-scales in the models examined. The stability of these configurations is investigated and possible applications are briefly discussed.tic time-scales in the models examined. The stability of these configurations is investigated and possible applications are briefly discussed.

Unified theory of oscillons and modes
Oscillons are reinterpreted as localized resonant modes from threshold or antibound modes via nonlinearity, with wobblerons as new kink-oscillon bound states.

Sign-Flipping Axion Potentials via Kapitza-Type Modulation by Heavy Axions
Coherent oscillations of a heavy axion change the sign of a light axion's effective potential, trapping it in a false vacuum and boosting its dark matter abundance.

Oscillons and bubbles in $Q$-ball dynamics
In the thin-wall regime, Q-ball-anti-Q-ball collisions are chaotic, driven by internal bound modes and ephemeral states, with false-vacuum bubbles stabilized by Goldstone modes as key intermediates.

PQ-ball and its Real Scalar Analogue in an Expanding Universe
3+1D lattice simulations show PQ-balls form from a rotating complex scalar and decay faster for stronger symmetry breaking, with lifetimes roughly scaling as v^4.

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