In this manuscript the three types of late-time behavior of spherically symmetric Boson Stars are presented, these are: stable configurations, unstable bounded that collapse to form black holes and unstable unbounded that explode. The…
In this paper we consider families of solutions for excited states of Proca stars in spherical symmetry. We focus on the first two excited configurations and perform a series of fully non-linear dynamical simulations in order to study their…
We study the performance of permanent states (the bosonic counterpart of the Slater determinant state) as approximating functions for bosons, with the intention to develop variational methods based upon them. For a system of $N$ identical…
$\ell$-boson stars are static, spherical, multi-field self-gravitating solitons. They are asymptotically flat, finite energy solutions of Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to an odd number of massive, complex scalar fields. A previous…
Gravitationally bound structures composed by fermions and scalar particles known as fermion-boson stars are regular and static configurations obtained by solving the coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon-Euler (EKGE) system. In this work, we…
We construct spherically symmetric boson star solutions in $D \in \{4,5,6\}$ spacetime dimensions, considering the effects of both a quartic self-interaction term and a solitonic potential. We then perform a perturbative analysis,…
Many theories of BSM physics predict the existence of large or infinite towers of decaying states. In a previous paper (arXiv:2111.04753) we pointed out that this can give rise to a surprising cosmological phenomenon that we dubbed "stasis"…
We investigate the gravitational evolution of dark matter halos made up of a massless bosonic field. The coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations are solved numerically, showing that such a boson halo is stable and can be formed under a…
In previous work we constructed new boson star solutions consisting of a family of massive complex scalar fields minimally coupled to gravity in which the individual fields have angular momentum, yet the configuration as a whole is static…
Rotating fermion-boson stars are hypothetical celestial objects that consist of both fermionic and bosonic matter interacting exclusively through gravity. Bosonic fields are believed to arise in certain models of particle physics describing…
Using wave kinetics, we estimate the emergence time-scale of gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates/Bose stars in the kinetic regime for a general multicomponent Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson (SP) system. We identify some effects of the diffusion…
We study boson stars in a theory of complex scalar field coupled to Einstein gravity with the potential: $V(|\Phi|) := m^{2} |\Phi|^2 +2 \lambda |\Phi|$ (where $m^2$ and $\lambda$ are positive constant parameters). This could be considered…
We study equilibrium configurations of boson stars in the framework of general scalar-tensor theories of gravitation. We analyse several possible couplings, with acceptable weak field limit and, when known, nucleosynthesis bounds, in order…
Marcasite-type compounds have been proposed as promising hosts of exotic magnetic quantum states, yet experimental realizations in stoichiometric, disorder-free systems remain limited. Here, we report the high-pressure stabilization and…
We investigate numerically the collisions of two distinguishable quantum matter-wave bright solitons in a one-dimensional harmonic trap. We show that such collisions can be used to generate mesoscopic Bell states which can reliably be…
A realistic Equation of State (EOS) leads to strange stars (ReSS) which are compact in the mass radius plot, close to the Schwarzchild limiting line (Dey et al. 1998). We carry out a stability analysis under radial oscillations and compare…
We present a study of black hole threshold phenomena for a self-gravitating, massive complex scalar field in spherical symmetry. We construct Type I critical solutions dynamically by tuning a one-parameter family of initial data composed of…
We establish that massive complex Abelian vector fields (mass $\mu$) can form gravitating solitons, when minimally coupled to Einstein's gravity. Such Proca stars (PSs) have a stationary, everywhere regular and asymptotically flat geometry.…
There is increasing numerical evidence that scalar fields can form long-lived quasi-bound states around black holes. Recent perturbative and numerical relativity calculations have provided further confirmation in a variety of physical…
We study stability of the first excited state of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential, which is called "$\pi$-state". The density notch in the $\pi$-state can be regarded as a standing dark soliton.…
