Nonlinear electroweak sphaleron clouds around Kerr black holes
Carlos Herdeiro, Jutta Kunz, Hendrik Mennenga +1
Kerr black holes and electroweak sphalerons are remarkable solutions of two pillars of modern physics: General Relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics, respectively.…
Boson Star Factory: Past, Present, and Future
Romain Gervalle, Jorge Filipe Mónico Delgado, Etevaldo dos Santos Costa Filho +4
Boson stars are self-gravitating solitons of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations for a massive complex scalar field, and arguably the simplest horizonless compact objects arising i…
Electroweak balls: non-topological solitons in the Weinberg-Salam theory
Carlos Herdeiro, Jutta Kunz, Burkhard Kleihaus +1
We construct a new class of smooth, finite-energy solitons in the bosonic Weinberg-Salam theory, which we dub . Their localization mechanism…
Relativistic and Newtonian Proca Stars: A Tale of Two Limits
Alberto Diez-Tejedor, Carlos Herdeiro, Claudio Lazarte +4
We investigate a representative set of static solitonic solutions of the Einstein-Proca theory in the Newtonian regime, where the field frequency approaches the particle mass, $ω\t…
Phase Structure of Scalarized Black Holes in Einstein-Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
Carlos Herdeiro, Hyat Huang, Jutta Kunz +3
We revisit scalarized black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and analyze the thermodynamic phase transition between the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity an…
Phase transitions of boson stars in scalar-tensor theories
Hyat Huang, Burkhard Kleihaus, Jutta Kunz +3
In scalar-tensor theories, compact objects may experience spontaneous scalarization. Recently, it was shown that matter-induced spontaneous scalarization of neutron stars is predom…
Chains of Boson Stars
C. A. R. Herdeiro, J. Kunz, I. Perapechka +2
We study axially symmetric multi-soliton solutions of a complex scalar field theory with a sextic potential, minimally coupled to Einstein's gravity. These solutions carry no angul…
static black holes with event horizon topology
Burkhard Kleihaus, Jutta Kunz, Eugen Radu
We present numerical evidence for the existence of new black hole solutions in spacetime dimensions. They approach asymptotically the Minkowski background and have an eve…
