Abstract

The dynamical evolution of self-interacting scalar field has many nontrivial behaviors, which tell us many lessons in a nonlinear dynamics. On Minkowski spacetime, the scalar field with double well potential has localized, non-singular, time-dependent, long-lived solutions, which are called oscillons. The lifetime of the oscillon depends on the initial conditions. Furthermore, when the initial parameter is fine-tuned, oscillons can be infinitely, and type I critical behavior is observed. Here, we investigate the Einstein-scalar system with double well potential. We show that oscillons exist in this system, and discuss the behavior when the initial parameter is fine-tuned. Our results suggests that a new type of critical behavior appears in this theory.
