We review particle-like configurations of complex scalar field, localized by gravity, so-called boson stars. In the simplest case, these solutions posses spherical symmetry, they may arise in the massive Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory with…

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…

We study boson shells and boson stars in a theory of complex scalar field coupled to the $U(1)$ gauge field $A_{\mu}$ and Einstein gravity with the potential: $V(|\Phi|) := \frac{1}{2} m^{2} \left(|\Phi|+ a \right)^2$. This could be…

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…

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 boson stars in a theory of complex scalar field coupled to Einstein gravity with the potential: $V(|\Phi|) := m^{2} |\Phi|^2 +2 \lambda |\Phi|$ (where $m^2$ and $\lambda$ are positive constant parameters). This could be considered…

Boson stars are descendants of the so-called geons of Wheeler, except that they are built from scalar particles instead of electromagnetic fields. If scalar fields exist in nature, such localized configurations kept together by their…
