Slowly-Rotating Q-Balls

ORAL

Abstract

Q-balls, soliton solutions in classical field theory, have wide-ranging applications, including in various theories of dark matter and baryogenesis. Although Q-balls with nonzero angular momentum are proven to be present in some of these theories, only solutions with quantized angular momentum are currently known. This work seeks to understand if other rotating solutions are possible.
