In previous work, we introduced the $\ell$-boson stars, a generalization of standard boson stars, which are parameterized by an angular momentum number $\ell$, while still preserving the spacetime's spherical symmetry. In this article, we…
We study compact gravitating $Q$-ball, $Q$-shell solutions in a sigma model with the target space $\mathbb{C}P^N$. Models with odd integer $N$ and suitable potential can be parameterized by $N$-th complex scalar fields and they support…

Compact boson stars, whose scalar field vanishes identically in the exterior region, arise in a theory involving a {\it massless} complex scalar field with a conical potential, when coupled to gravity. Their charged compact generalizations,…
