First, we study the collisions of Oscillotons, quasi-stable, localised solutions of a real massive scalar field minimally coupled to the Einstein Field equations. We discuss their formation, end-of-life and emitted signals in a merger. Second, we study the physics of Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings which are topological defects that might have formed in the very early universe. We simulate the collapse of a cosmic strings loop which can either disperse or form a black hole. For the latter case we could generate a gravitational wave signal.
