Jeans type instability of a complex self-interacting scalar field in general relativity
Abril Suárez, Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We study the gravitational instability of a general relativistic complex scalar field with a quartic self-interaction in an infinite homogeneous static background. This quantum rel…

Phase transitions between dilute and dense axion stars
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
We study the nature of phase transitions between dilute and dense axion stars interpreted as self-gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates. We develop a Newtonian model based on the G…

Derivation of a generalized Schrödinger equation for dark matter halos from the theory of scale relativity
Pierre-Henri Chavanis
Using Nottale's theory of scale relativity, we derive a generalized Schrödinger equation applying to dark matter halos. This equation involves a logarithmic nonlinearity associated…
