“…In particular, for M M P , as the field explores the flatter-than-quadratic region of the potential (φ M with α < 2), broad self-resonance drives copious production of oscillons [117,118,119,120,121,122,123]. Oscillons are highly overdense, spatially localized, exceptionally long-lived field configurations [124,125,126,127,128,129,130] where the field amplitude in their cores does not redshift as the universe expands. The rapid formation of oscillons from an almost homogeneous condensate at the end of inflation, and their slower gravitational clustering [79] is shown in Fig.…”
