We investigate the static boson star solutions in the so-called Einstein-Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin (E-FLS) theory, performing a complete analysis of the solution space in this model. We study the phenomenological aspects of E-FLS stars, for…
In this paper, we present two observations about static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations. The first is a comment extending the well-known result of the existence of static states (i.e. standing wave…
We investigate boson stars in an $O(3)$ scalar field theory with a symmetry-breaking potential. By constructing numerically spherically symmetric solutions, we demonstrate that the model gives rise to a rich set of field configurations. The…
The existence of localized, approximately stationary, lumps of the classical gravitational and electromagnetic field -- $geons$ -- was conjectured more than half a century ago. If one insists on exact stationarity, topologically trivial…

Boson stars arise as solutions of a massive complex scalar field coupled to gravity. A variety of scalar potentials, giving rise to different types of boson stars, have been studied in the literature. Here we study instead the effect of…
Boson stars represent a hypothetical exotic type of compact stellar object that may be observed from the gravitational signal of coalescing binaries in current and future GW detectors. In this work we show that the moment of inertia $I$,…
Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to free, massive, classical fundamental fields admits particle-like solutions. These are asymptotically flat, everywhere non-singular configurations that realise Wheeler's concept of a geon: a localised…
Our motivation in this work is due to the great importance of relativistic boson stars as fierce competitors of black holes. From theoretical perspective, they described by complex Klein Gordon (KG) scalar fields interacting with curved…
We give good approximate analytic solutions for spherical charged boson stars in the large scalar-self-coupling limit in general relativity. We show that if the charge $e$ and mass $m$ of the scalar field nearly satisfy the critical…
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…
We present a class of exact solutions of Einstein's gravitational field equations describing spherically symmetric and static anisotropic stellar type configurations. The solutions are obtained by assuming a particular form of the…
We consider topological and non-topological regular soliton solutions in the Einstein-Maxwell-Skyrme theory. We analyze the properties of these solutions and determine their domains of existence. The dependence of the solutions on the gauge…
It is proved that self-gravitating static scalar fields whose self-interaction potential $V(\psi^2)$ is a monotonically increasing function of its argument cannot form spherically symmetric asymptotically flat bound matter configurations.…
We consider spherically symmetric $U(1)$ gauged boson stars in the two-component scalar Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model with a symmetry breaking potential in 3+1 dimensional spacetime. Depending on the relative strength of gravity and the…
The boson star filled with two interacting scalar fields is investigated. The scalar fields can be considered as a gauge condensate formed by SU(3) gauge field quantized in a non-perturbative manner. The corresponding solution is regular…
Mixed fermion-boson stars are stable, horizonless, everywhere regular solutions of the coupled Einstein-(complex, massive) Klein-Gordon-Euler system. While isolated neutron stars and boson stars are uniquely determined by their central…
In this paper, we have constructed Boson star (BS) solutions in four dimensional scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (sGB) theory. In order to have non-trivial effect from Gauss-Bonnet term, we invoked non-minimal coupling between a complex scalar field…
We find new spherically symmetric charged boson star solutions of a complex scalar field coupled non-minimally to gravity by a "John-type" term of Horndeski theory, that is a coupling between the kinetic scalar term and Einstein tensor. We…
