Universal Gravitational Waves from Interacting and Clustered Solitons
Causal soliton formation (e.g. oscillons, Q-balls) in the primordial Universe is expected to give rise to a universal gravitational wave (GW) background, at frequencies smaller than scales of nonlinearity. We show that modifications of the soliton density field, driven by soliton interactions or initial conditions, can significantly enhance universal GWs. Gravitational clustering of solitons naturally leads to generation of correlations in the large-scale soliton density field. As we demonstrate for axion-like particle (ALP) oscillons, the growing power spectrum amplifies universal GW signals, opening new avenues for probing the physics of the early Universe with upcoming GW experiments. Our results are applicable to variety of scenarios, such as solitons interacting through a long range Yukawa-like fifth force.

Dark photon dark matter from an oscillating dilaton
We present a mechanism for generating ultralight dark photon dark matter in the early Universe via a dilatonlike scalar field coupled to the dark photon's kinetic term. Energy is initially stored in the condensate of the dilaton, which resonantly produces dark photons when it begins oscillating in the early Universe. While similar scenarios with axion--dark-photon couplings require large coupling coefficients to fully populate the dark photon, the dilatonic coupling features a unique regime: When the dark photon's mass is half that of the dilaton, dark photons are copiously produced even when the dilaton undergoes small-amplitude oscillations. Scenarios consistent with the cosmic microwave background allow for ultralight vector dark matter with mass as light as $10^{-20}$ eV.Open AccessDark photon dark matter from an oscillating dilaton
