Unified theory of oscillons and modes

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: We show that an oscillon can be understood as a localized discrete resonant (non-normalizable) mode. Specifically, oscillon in the vacuum arises from the threshold mode, which because of nonlinearity gets localized. Following this idea, we find {\it wobblerons} - nonlinear excitations of kinks, that is, oscillons-kink bound state. Now, the oscillon can also originate in an antibound mode, i.e., a discrete, positive energy but non-normalizable mode.
