Oscillon collapse to black holes

Using numerical relativity simulations we study the dynamics of pseudo-topological objects called oscillons for a class of models inspired by axion-monodromy. Starting from free field solutions supported by gravitational attractions, we investigate the effect of adding self-interactions, and contras...
