This work studies the formation and growth of boson stars and their surrounding miniclusters by gravitational condensation using non-linear dynamical numerical methods. Fully dynamical attractive and repulsive self-interactions are also considered for the first time. In the case of pure gravity, we numerically prove that the growth of boson stars inside halos slows down and saturates as has been previously conjectured, and detail its conditions. Self-interactions are included using the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson equations. We find that in the case of strong attractive self-interactions the boson stars can become unstable and collapse, in agreement with previous stationary computations. At even stronger coupling, the condensate fragments. Repulsive self-interactions, as expected, promote boson star formation, and lead to solutions with larger radii.

Generating Moving Field Initial Conditions with Spatially Varying Boost
A 'spatially varying boost' algorithm assigns arbitrary, position-dependent bulk velocities to field initial data by composing local Lorentz boosts, demonstrated on solitons, Proca fields, and spin-1 wave dark matter.

Tidal Love numbers of multi-state Boson stars
Quadrupolar electric tidal Love numbers of multi-state boson stars flip from positive to negative when mu~1 > 0.891 or omega~0 > 0.777, while magnetic Love numbers stay negative.

Quantum fields in boson star spacetime
In boson star spacetimes, the renormalized quantum stress tensor has mostly positive energy density and negative radial pressure that grow with curvature, rivaling the classical stress in the most compact solutions.

Construction of fuzzy dark matter halos with arbitrary initial velocities
Random-phase eigenstate constructions of fuzzy dark matter halos carry a computable nonzero initial global velocity, which can be removed or set to any value by a Galilean boost.
