Relative-Phase Control of Common-Bridge Survival in Collisions of Radially Excited Boson Stars
Abstract
We show that the relative phase primarily controls the survival, rather than the initial formation, of the common bridge in head-on collisions of radially excited boson stars. In the benchmark configuration, all sampled phases form both a common and a strong bridge. After aligning the evolutions at the same operational weak-contact level, their early post-contact evolution remains similar, while a clear phase hierarchy develops only later, with larger phase offsets producing a weaker and less persistent connection. The same suppression persists under controlled variations of the central scalar amplitude, quartic self-interaction strength, and scalar potential. These results identify relative phase as a control on the nonlinear persistence of the common bridge rather than simply on the instantaneous scalar-field overlap.
