Boson stars in the centre of galaxies?
Franz E. Schunck, Andrew R. Liddle
We investigate the possible gravitational redshift values for boson stars with a self-interaction, studying a wide range of possible masses. We find a limiting value of z_lim \sime…
Blue spectral inflation
Franz E. Schunck, Eckehard W. Mielke
We reconsider the nonlinear second order Abel equation of Stewart and Lyth, which follows from a nonlinear second order slow-roll approximation. We find a new eigenvalue spectrum i…
Phenomenological model of the weak interaction
Franz E. Schunck
We use the informations known so far about elementary particles in order to construct a simple model. We find a reason for the gyromagnetic factor of 2 for leptons and a vivid imag…
Magnetic dipole moment of the electron
Franz E. Schunck
We present a model which determines the correct value of the magnetic dipole moment of the electron. By this, we find a physical meaning for the electron spin.
TOPICAL REVIEW: General relativistic boson stars
Franz E. Schunck, Eckehard W. Mielke
There is accumulating evidence that (fundamental) scalar fields may exist in Nature. The gravitational collapse of such a boson cloud would lead to a boson star (BS) as a new type…
Dark Matter Halos as Bose-Einstein Condensates
Eckehard W. Mielke, Burkhard Fuchs, Franz E. Schunck
Galactic dark matter is modelled by a scalar field in order to effectively modify Kepler's law without changing standard Newtonian gravity. In particular, a solvable toy model with…
