A real scalar field coupled to a fermion via a Yukawa term can evade no-go theorems preventing solitonic solutions. For the first time, we study this model within General Relativity without approximations, finding static and spherically…

Fermion soliton stars are a consistent model of exotic compact objects which involve a nonlinear interaction between a real scalar field and fermions through a Yukawa term. This interaction results in an effective fermion mass that depends…

We consider a theory in which a real scalar field is Yukawa-coupled to a fermion and has a potential with two non-degenerate vacua. If the coupling is sufficiently strong, a collection of N fermions deforms the true vacuum state, creating…

We construct spherically-symmetric static solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon-Euler system involving a complex scalar field governed by a periodic potential which emerges in models of axion-like particles, and fermionic matter modeled by…

Fermion-boson stars are starlike systems composed of the ordinary nuclear matter of a neutron star and bosonic dark matter. The bosonic dark matter has typically been taken to be a complex scalar field. A natural extension is for the…
