We study various aspects of the scattering of generalized compact oscillons in the signum-Gordon model in (1+1) dimensions. Using covariance of the model we construct traveling oscillons and study their interactions and the dependence of these interactions on the oscillons initial velocities and their relative phases. The scattering processes transform the two incoming oscillons into two outgoing ones and lead to the generation of extra oscillons which appear in the form of jet-like cascades. Such cascades vanish for some values of free parameters and the scattering processes, even though our model is non-integrable, resemble typical scattering processes normally observed for integrable or quase-integrable models. Occasionally, in the intermediate stage of the process, we have seen the emission of shock waves and we have noticed that, in general, outgoing oscillons have been more involved in their emission than the initial ones i.e. they have a border in form of curved world-lines. The results of our studies of the scattering of oscillons suggest that the radiation of the signum-Gordon model has a fractal-like nature.

We present explicit solutions of the signum-Gordon scalar field equation which have finite energy and are periodic in time. Such oscillons have a strictly finite size. They do not emit radiation.
The signum-Gordon model in 1+1 dimensions possesses the exact shockwave solution with discontinuity of the field at the light cone and infinite gradient energy. The energy of a regular part of the wave inside the light cone is finite and it grows lin
early with time. The initial data for such waves contain a field configuration which is null in the space and has time derivative proportional to the Dirac delta. We study regularized initial data that lead to shock-like waves with finite gradient energy. We found that such waves exist in the finite time intervals and finally they decay and produce a cascade of oscillon-like structures. A pattern of the decay is very similar to the one observed in process of scattering of compact oscillons.
Oscillons are extremely long-lived, spatially-localized field configurations in real-valued scalar field theories that slowly lose energy via radiation of scalar waves. Before their eventual demise, oscillons can pass through (one or more) exceptiona
lly stable field configurations where their decay rate is highly suppressed. We provide an improved calculation of the non-trivial behavior of the decay rates, and lifetimes of oscillons. In particular, our calculation correctly captures the existence (or absence) of the exceptionally long-lived states for large amplitude oscillons in a broad class of potentials, including non-polynomial potentials that flatten at large field values. The key underlying reason for the improved (by many orders of magnitude in some cases) calculation is the systematic inclusion of a spacetime-dependent effective mass term in the equation describing the radiation emitted by oscillons (in addition to a source term). Our results for the exceptionally stable configurations, decay rates, and lifetime of large amplitude oscillons (in some cases $gtrsim 10^8$ oscillations) in such flattened potentials might be relevant for cosmological applications.
Oscillons are spatially localized structures that appear in scalar field theories and exhibit extremely long life-times. We go beyond single-field analyses and study oscillons comprised of multiple interacting fields, each having an identical potenti
al with quadratic, quartic and sextic terms. We consider quartic interaction terms of either attractive or repulsive nature. In the two-field case, we construct semi-analytical oscillon profiles for different values of the potential parameters and coupling strength using the two-timing small-amplitude formalism. We show that the interaction sign, attractive or repulsive, leads to different oscillon solutions, albeit with similar characteristics, like the emergence of flat-top shapes. In the case of attractive interactions, the oscillons can reach higher values of the energy density and smaller values of the width. For repulsive interactions we identify a threshold for the coupling strength, above which oscillons do not exist within the two-timing small-amplitude framework. We extend the Vakhitov-Kolokolov (V-K) stability criterion, which has been used to study single-field oscillons, and show that the symmetry of the potential leads to similar equations as in the single-field case, albeit with modified terms. We explore the basin of attraction of stable oscillon solutions numerically to test the validity of the V-K criterion and show that, depending on the initial perturbation size, unstable oscillons can either completely disperse or relax to the closest stable configuration. Similarly to the V-K criterion, the decay rate and lifetime of two-field oscillons are found to be qualitatively and quantitatively similar to their single-field counterparts. Finally, we generalize our analysis to multi-field oscillons and show that the governing equations for their shape and stability can be mapped to the ones arising in the two-field case.
Real scalar fields are known to fragment into spatially localized and long-lived solitons called oscillons or $I$-balls. We prove the adiabatic invariance of the oscillons/$I$-balls for a potential that allows periodic motion even in the presence of
non-negligible spatial gradient energy. We show that such potential is uniquely determined to be the quadratic one with a logarithmic correction, for which the oscillons/$I$-balls are absolutely stable. For slightly different forms of the scalar potential dominated by the quadratic one, the oscillons/$I$-balls are only quasi-stable, because the adiabatic charge is only approximately conserved. We check the conservation of the adiabatic charge of the $I$-balls in numerical simulation by slowly varying the coefficient of logarithmic corrections. This unambiguously shows that the longevity of oscillons/$I$-balls is due to the adiabatic invariance.
