Anisotropic Dark Matter Bosonic Stars in regularized 4D Einstein$-$Gauss$-$Bonnet gravity
Abstract
In this work, we have constructed anisotropic bosonic dark-matter star (DMS) solutions in the context of a regularized four-dimensional EinsteinGaussBonnet (4D EGB) gravity theory. Using dimensional regularization, we solve modified TolmanOppenheimerVolkoff equations for a self-interacting complex scalar field in the dilute polytropic regime, , with anisotropy parameterized as . We perform a comprehensive numerical analysis across the parameter domain, where and , to examine massradius relations and evaluate multiple stability indicators including static equilibrium , sound-speed causality, the radial adiabatic index , and energy conditions. Positive GaussBonnet coupling enhances both the maximum mass and compactness (e.g., at rising to at ), while negative anisotropy reduces them (e.g., from at to at ). The resulting configurations remain statically stable up to the mass peak and satisfy physical criteria. This work extends previous isotropic boson-star analyses by systematically incorporating anisotropy within a regularized 4D EGB framework. These findings provide observationally relevant predictions for compact dark-matter objects under modified gravity.
