No-go theorem for static boson stars with negative cosmological constants

Abstract

In a recent paper, Hod has proven no-go theorem for asymptotically flat static regular boson stars. In the present work, we extend discussions to the gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We consider a scalar field vanishing at infinity. In the asymptotically AdS background, we show that spherically symmetric regular boson stars cannot be constructed with self-gravitating static scalar fields, whose potential is positive semidefinite and increases with respect to its argument.
