Oscillons in AdS space

Abstract We study oscillons in a real scalar field theory in a (3+1)-dimensional AdS space with global coordinates. The initial configuration is given by a Gaussian shape with an appropriate core size as in Minkowski spacetime. The solution exhibits a long lifetime. In particular, since the AdS spac...

Description
Summary:Abstract We study oscillons in a real scalar field theory in a (3+1)-dimensional AdS space with global coordinates. The initial configuration is given by a Gaussian shape with an appropriate core size as in Minkowski spacetime. The solution exhibits a long lifetime. In particular, since the AdS space can be seen as a box, the recurrence phenomenon can be observed under suitable conditions. In particular, as the AdS radius decreases, one can see a transition from a metastable oscillon to a stable oscillatory solution. Finally, we discuss some potential applications of the oscillon in the context of AdS/CFT duality.
