The Klein-Gordon-Einstein equations of classical real scalar fields have time-dependent solutions (periodic in time). We show that quantum real scalar fields can form non-oscillating (static) solitonic objects, which are quite similar to…

We study the variational equations for solitons in noncommutative scalar field theories in an even number of spatial dimensions. We prove the existence of spherically symmetric solutions for a sufficiently large noncommutativity parameter…

Static spherically symmetric uncoupled scalar space-times have no event horizon and a divergent Kretschmann singularity at the origin of the coordinates. The singularity is always present so that non-static solutions have been sought to see…
