Decay of Graviton Condensates and their Generalizations in Arbitrary Dimensions

Understand

Classicalons are self-bound classical field configurations, which include black holes in General Relativity.

• In quantum theory, they are described by condensates of many soft quanta.
• In this work, their decay properties are studied in arbitrary dimensions.
• It is found that generically the decays of other classicalons are enhanced compared to pure graviton condensates, ie.
