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…
