Abstract

We present four results for oscillons in classical ϕ 4 theory in D + 1 space-time dimensions, based on numerical simulations. These include the oscillon lifetime and the dependence on D; evidence for the uniqueness of the oscillon; evidence for the existence of oscillons beyond D = 7; and a brief study of the spectrum of the radiation emitted from the oscillons before, during and after its ultimate demise.
