摘要

We add an S1 extra dimension (size L) to the well known D = 4 static, spherically symmetric Q-balls and boson stars. We show that the resulting uniform horizonless boson strings possess a static zero-mode for a critical value of L. This is at the threshold of a Gregory-Laflamme instability of these objects, occurring for larger values of L. The non-linear continuation of the zero-mode yields D = 5 non-uniform boson strings. In addition, there are also intrinsic D = 5 solutions describing localized boson stars on the S1, supported by the contribution of the scalar field Kaluza-Klein modes. Basic properties of all three types of aforementioned solutions are discussed, together with their phase space.
