We study the ground-state energy of N attractive bosons in the plane. The interaction is scaled for the gas to be dilute, so that the corresponding mean-field problem is a local non-linear Schr{\"o}dinger (NLS) equation. We improve the…
In this paper we present several set of solutions of static and spherically symmetric solitonic boson stars. Each set is characterized by the value of {\sigma} that defines the solitonic potential in the complex scalar field theory. The…
We consider a hypothetical scenario in which the Higgs boson is absent, and attempt to constrain the mass scale Lambda of the new physics that would take its place. Using recent measurements of sin^2(theta_eff^lept) and M_W, we show that,…

Big bang nucleosynthesis constraints on baryon isocurvature perturbations are determined. A simple model ignoring the effects of the scale of the perturbations is first reviewed. This model is then extended to test the claim that large…

Boson stars are often described as macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensates. By accommodating large numbers of bosons in the same quantum state, they materialize macroscopically the intangible probability density cloud of a single particle in…

Strange quark matter in beta equilibrium at high densities is studied in a quark confinement model. Two equations of state are dynamically generated for the {\it same} set of model parameters used to describe the nucleon: one corresponds to…

We consider the nonlinear Dirac equation in one dimension, also known as the Soler model in (1+1) dimensions, or the massive Gross-Neveu model: $i\partial_t\psi=-i\alpha\partial_x\psi+m\beta\psi-f(\psi^\ast\beta\psi)\beta\psi$,…
