Abstract

Scalar fields are a useful proxy for other complex interactions, but also an attractive extension of General Relativity and a possible dark matter component. I will discuss some aspects of the gravitational interaction of scalar fields, in particular (i) the formation and growth of self-gravitating structures and their interaction with compact stars. and (ii) superradiance around black holes and how it can be used to constraint particle masses.
