Scalar bosonic stars (BSs) stand out as a multi-purpose model of exotic compact objects. We enlarge the landscape of such (asymptotically flat, stationary, everywhere regular) objects by considering multiple fields (possibly) with different frequencies. This allows for new morphologies ${it and}$ a stabilization mechanism for different sorts of unstable BSs. First, any odd number of complex fields, yields a continuous family of BSs departing from the spherical, equal frequency, $ell-$BSs. As the simplest illustration, we construct the $ell$ = ${it 1}$ ${it BSs}$ ${it family}$, that includes several single frequency solutions, including even parity (such as spinning BSs and a toroidal, static BS) and odd parity (a dipole BS) limits. Second, these limiting solutions are dynamically unstable, but can be stabilized by a ${it hybrid}$-$ell$ construction: adding a sufficiently large fundamental $ell=0$ BS of another field, with a different frequency. Evidence for this dynamical robustness is obtained by non-linear numerical simulations of the corresponding Einstein-(complex, massive) Klein-Gordon system, both in formation and evolution scenarios, and a suggestive correlation between stability and energy distribution is observed. Similarities and differences with vector BSs are anticipated.

We study numerically the nonlinear stability of {it excited} fermion-boson stars in spherical symmetry. Such compound hypothetical stars, composed by fermions and bosons, are gravitationally bound, regular, and static configurations described within
the coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon-Euler theoretical framework. The excited configurations are characterized by the presence in the radial profile of the (complex, massive) scalar field -- the bosonic piece -- of at least one node across the star. The dynamical emergence of one such configuration from the accretion of a cloud of scalar field onto an already-formed neutron star, was numerically revealed in our previous investigation. Prompted by that finding we construct here equilibrium configurations of excited fermion-boson stars and study their stability properties using numerical-relativity simulations. In addition, we also analyze their dynamical formation from generic, constraint-satisfying initial data. Contrary to purely boson stars in the excited state, which are known to be generically unstable, our study reveals the appearance of a cooperative stabilization mechanism between the fermionic and bosonic constituents of those excited-state mixed stars. While similar examples of stabilization mechanisms have been recently discussed in the context of $ell-$boson stars and multi-field, multi-frequency boson stars, our results seem to indicate that the stabilization mechanism is a purely gravitational effect and does not depend on the type of matter of the companion star.
In this paper, we extend the mimetic gravity to the multi-field setup with a curved field space manifold. The multi-field mimetic scenario is realized via the singular limit of the conformal transformation between the auxiliary and the physical metri
cs. We look for the cosmological implications of the setup where it is shown that at the background level the mimetic energy density mimics the roles of dark matter. At the perturbation level, the scalar field perturbations are decomposed into the tangential and normal components with respect to the background field space trajectory. The adiabatic perturbation tangential to the background trajectory is frozen while the entropy mode perpendicular to the background trajectory propagates with the speed of unity. Whether or not the entropy perturbation is healthy directly depends on the signature of the field-space metric. We perform the full non-linear Hamiltonian analysis of the system with the curved field space manifold and calculate the physical degrees of freedom verifying that the system is free from the Ostrogradsky-type ghost.
Gravitational theories with multiple scalar fields coupled to the metric and each other --- a natural extension of the well studied single-scalar-tensor theories --- are interesting phenomenological frameworks to describe deviations from general rela
tivity in the strong-field regime. In these theories, the $N$-tuple of scalar fields takes values in a coordinate patch of an $N$-dimensional Riemannian target-space manifold whose properties are poorly constrained by weak-field observations. Here we introduce for simplicity a non-trivial model with two scalar fields and a maximally symmetric target-space manifold. Within this model we present a preliminary investigation of spontaneous scalarization for relativistic, perfect fluid stellar models in spherical symmetry. We find that the scalarization threshold is determined by the eigenvalues of a symmetric scalar-matter coupling matrix, and that the properties of strongly scalarized stellar configurations additionally depend on the target-space curvature radius. In preparation for numerical relativity simulations, we also write down the $3+1$ decomposition of the field equations for generic tensor-multi-scalar theories.
LISA is an array of three spacecraft flying in an approximately equilateral triangle configuration, which will be used as a low-frequency detector of gravitational waves. Recently a technique has been proposed for suppressing the phase noise of the o
nboard lasers by locking them to the LISA arms. In this paper we show that the delay-induced effects substantially modify the performance of this technique, making it different from the conventional locking of lasers to optical resonators. We analyze these delay-induced effects in both transient and steady-state regimes and discuss their implications for the implementation of this technique on LISA.
Quantum mechanics makes the otherwise stable vacua of a theory metastable through the nucleation of bubbles of the new vacuum. This in turn causes a first order phase transition. These cosmological phase transitions may have played an important role
in settling our universe into its current vacuum, and they may also happen in future. The most important frameworks where vacuum decay happens contain a large number of fields. Unfortunately, calculating the tunneling rates in these models is very time-consuming. In this paper we present a simple approximation for the tunneling rate by reducing it to a one-field problem which is easy to calculate. We demonstrate the validity of this approximation using our recent code Anybubble for several classes of potentials.
