Extra dimensions are present in many beyond the Standard Model scenarios, most notably in string theory. However, direct signatures of extra dimensions are difficult to observe in many cases. This is the situation, for example, if the…

We add an $S^1$ extra dimension (size $L$) to the well known $D=4$ static, spherically symmetric $Q$-balls and boson stars. We show that the resulting uniform horizonless boson strings possess a static zero-mode for a critical value of $L$.…
