Mini boson stars in higher dimensions are radially unstable
Abstract Boson stars are self-gravitating solutions made entirely of fundamental massive scalar fields. Here we investigate mini boson stars in D non-compact spacetime dimensions and we show that they are dynamically unstable for $$D>4$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mo>></mml:mo> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .
