Q-ball candidates for self-interacting dark matter
read the original abstract
We show that non-topological solitons, known as Q-balls, are promising candidates for self-interacting dark matter. They can satisfy the cross-section requirements for a broad range of masses. Unlike previously considered examples, Q-balls can stick together after collision, reducing the effective self-interaction rate to a negligible value after a few collisions per particle. This feature modifies predictions for halo formation. We also discuss the possibility that Q-balls have large interaction cross-sections with ordinary matter.

Early-Time Nonlinear Growth in an Unstable Q-Ball Hairy Black Hole
The early growth of the weakly responding scalar component in an unstable Q-ball hairy black hole is dominated by a second-order QNM sourced by the linear unstable mode, even while evolution remains perturbative.

Quantum-Corrected Q-balls in the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin Model
Hartree quantum fluctuations in 3+1D simulations of the Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model produce a regime where fluctuations carry significant Noether charge, periodic charge exchange occurs, and some classically stable Q-b...

In an unstable Q-ball hairy black hole, the early growth of the weakly responding scalar component is dominated by a second-order QNM rather than its linear response.
