Stress stability criterion of $U(1)$ gauged non-topological solitons in the 3+1 dimensional O(3) sigma-model

We study the energy-momentum tensor of the spherically symmetric non-topological solitons of the $O(3)$ non-linear sigma-model with a standard kinetic term and with a symmetry breaking potential in 3+1 dimensional flat space-time. We evaluate the distributions of the corresponding energy density, shear forces and pressure and study the stability criteria for these solutions. We argue that the presence of domains with negative energy density and violation of the energy conditions most likely do not lead to destabilization of solitons.

Two types of boson stars in $U(1)$ gauged $3+1$-dimensional $O(3)$ sigma-model

We investigate boson stars in an $O(3)$ scalar field theory with a symmetry-breaking potential. By constructing numerically spherically symmetric solutions, we demonstrate that the model gives rise to a rich set of field configurations. The negative coupling constant of the scalar self-interactions allows for two types of boson stars: Type I solutions represent the usual boson stars, that emerge from the vacuum as the boson frequency is decreased below the boson mass, whereas type II boson stars emerge from a set of static soliton solutions. Depending on the strengths of the gravitational and the electric coupling constants, both types or only one type is present. At a critical set of coupling constants, both types undergo a bifurcation. There the spirals of both types disconnect from their branches and reconnect with each other, while the remaining branches of both types also reconnect with each other.

$U(1)$ gauged non-topological solitons in the 3+1 dimensional $O(3)$ sigma-model

We present and study new non-topological soliton solutions in the $U(1)$ gauged non-linear $O(3)$ sigma model with a symmetry breaking potential in 3+1 dimensional flat space-time. The configurations are endowed with an electric and magnetic field and also carry a nonvanishing angular momentum density. We discuss properties of these solitons and investigate the domains of their existence.

Boson stars in the $U(1)$ gauged 3+1 dimensional $O(3)$ sigma-model

We study regular self-gravitating non-topological soliton solutions of the $U(1)$ gauged non-linear $O(3)$ sigma model with the usual kinetic term and a simple symmetry breaking potential in 3+1 dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime. Both parity-even and parity-odd configurations with an angular node of the scalar field are considered. Localized solutions are endowed with an electric charge, spinning configurations are also coupled to the toroidal flux of magnetic field. We confirm that such solutions do not exist in the flat space limit. Similar to the usual boson stars, a spiral-like frequency dependence of the mass and the Noether charge of the gauged solutions is observed. Depending on the relative strength of gravity and the electromagnetic interaction, the resulting gauged $O(3)$ boson stars at the mass threshold either possess the usual Newtonian limit, or they are linked to a regular strongly gravitating critical configuration. We explore domain of existence of the solutions and investigate some of their physical properties.
