Title

Scalar Breathers with Negative Cosmological Constant
Coauthors

Abstract

Time-periodic and spatially localized breather-type solutions with spherical symmetry are investigated in a free massless scalar field theory coupled to Einstein's gravity with a negative cosmological constant. Using a spectral code the phase space of breather solutions is explored in detail for d=3 and d=4 spatial dimensions. It is found that there are discrete families of solutions indexed by an integer and by their frequency. Using a time evolution code these AdS breathers are found to be stable for up to a critical central density, in analogy to boson stars. Using an analytical perturbative expansion small amplitude breathers are worked out for arbitrary dimensions.
