Boson star and dark matter
  Bound states of complex scalar fields (boson stars) have long been proposed as possible candidates for the dark matter in the universe. Considerable work has already been done to study various aspects of boson stars. In the present work, assuming a particular anisotropic matter distribution, we solve the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations with a cosmological constant to obtain bosonic configurations by treating the problem geometrically. The results are then applied to problems covering a wide range of masses and radii of the boson stars and the relevant self interaction parameters are calculated. We compare our results with earlier treatments to show the applicability of the geometrical approach.
