We investigate the stability of general-relativistic boson stars by classifying singularities of differential mappings and compare it with the results of perturbation theory. Depending on the particle number, the star has the following regimes of behavior: stable, metastable, pulsation, and collapse.

Gravitationally bound structures composed by fermions and scalar particles known as fermion-boson stars are regular and static configurations obtained by solving the coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon-Euler (EKGE) system. In this work, we discuss one poss
ible scenario through which these fermion-boson stars may form by solving numerically the EKGE system under the simplifying assumption of spherical symmetry. Our initial configurations assume an already existing neutron star surrounded by an accreting cloud of a massive and complex scalar field. The results of our simulations show that once part of the initial scalar field is expelled via gravitational cooling the system gradually oscillates around an equilibrium configuration that is asymptotically consistent with a static solution of the system. The formation of fermion-boson stars for large positive values of the coupling constant in the self-interaction term of the scalar-field potential reveal the presence of a node in the scalar field. This suggests that a fermionic core may help stabilize configurations with nodes in the bosonic sector, as happens for purely boson stars in which the ground state and the first excited state coexist.
Boson stars may consist of a new type of light singlet scalar particles with nontrivial self-interactions, and may compose a fraction of the dark matter in the Universe. In this work, we study the dynamics of boson stars with Liouville and logarithmi
c scalar self-interaction potentials as benchmarks. We perform a numerical analysis as well as a semi-analytic study on how the compactness and the total mass will deviate from that of the usual boson stars formed with a quartic repulsive self-interaction. We apply the recently suggested Swampland conjecture to examine whether boson stars with such benchmark potentials belong to the Landscape of a quantum gravity. Using the mass constraint on the macroscopic compact halo object (MACHO) and the cold dark matter (CDM) isocurvature mode constraint from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), we derive the allowed mass range of scalar particles which compose the boson star. We further analyze applications of the lensing of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and the gravitational wave (GW) detection to probe the presence of such boson stars and constrain the parameter space of their corresponding models. We discuss how the two types of boson star potentials can be discriminated by the FRB and GW measurements.
Supermassive stars (SMSs) with mass $sim10^{5}~rm{M}_{odot}$ are promising candidates for the origin of supermassive black holes observed at redshift $gtrsim6$. They are supposed to form as a result of rapid accretion of primordial gas, although it c
an be obstructed by the time variation caused by circum-stellar disc fragmentation due to gravitational instability. To assess the occurrence of fragmentation, we study the structure of marginally gravitationally unstable accretion discs, by using a steady one-dimensional thin disc model with detailed treatment of chemical and thermal processes. Motivated by two SMS formation scenarios, i.e., those with strong ultraviolet radiation background or with large velocity difference between the baryon and the dark matter, we consider two types of flows, i.e., atomic and molecular flows, respectively, for a wide range of the central stellar mass $10-10^5~rm{M}_{odot}$ and the accretion rate $10^{-3}-1~rm{M}_{odot}~rm{yr}^{-1}$. In the case of a mostly atomic gas flowing to the disc outer boundary, the fragmentation condition is expressed as the accretion rate being higher than the critical value of $10^{-1}~rm{M}_{odot}~rm{yr}^{-1}$ regardless of the central stellar mass. On the other hand, in the case of molecular flows, there is a critical disc radius outside of which the disc becomes unstable. Those conditions appears to be marginally satisfied according to numerical simulations, suggesting that disc fragmentation can be common during SMS formation.
We study the spontaneous scalarization of spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat boson stars in the $(alpha {cal R} + gamma {cal G}) phi^2$ scalar-tensor gravity model. These compact objects are made of a complex valued scalar field that has harm
onic time dependence, while their space-time is static and they can reach densities and masses similar to that of supermassive black holes. We find that boson stars can be scalarized for both signs of the scalar-tensor coupling $alpha$ and $gamma$, respectively. This is, in particular, true for boson stars that are {it a priori} stable with respect to decay into individual bosonic particles. A fundamental difference between the $alpha$- and $gamma$-scalarization exists, though: while we find an interval in $alpha > 0$ for which boson stars can {it never} be scalarized when $gamma=0$, there is no restriction on $gamma eq 0$ when $alpha=0$. Typically, two branches of solutions exist that differ in the way the boson star gets scalarized: either the scalar field is maximal at the center of the star, or on a shell with finite radius which roughly corresponds to the outer radius of the boson star. We also demonstrate that the former solutions can be radially excited.
We construct boson stars in (4+1)-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We study the properties of the solutions in dependence on the coupling constants and investigate these in detail. While the thick wall limit is independent of the value of the Gauss-
Bonnet coupling, we find that the spiraling behaviour characteristic for boson stars in standard Einstein gravity disappears for large enough values of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling. Our results show that in this case the scalar field can not have arbitrarily high values at the center of the boson star and that it is hence impossible to reach the thin wall limit. Moreover, for large enough Gauss-Bonnet coupling we find a unique relation between the mass and the radius (qualitatively similar to those of neutron stars) which is not present in the Einstein gravity limit.
