TL;DR: The solution of the conformastat vacuum problem in general relativity is presented in this article, which consists of three axially symmetric Levi-Civita metrics, disproving the alleged spherical symmetry of the space-times.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that axion stars formed from axions with nearly Planck-scale decay constants are unstable to decay and are unlikely to have phenomenological consequences.
Abstract: We show that axion stars formed from axions with nearly Planck-scale decay constants $f$ are unstable to decay and are unlikely to have phenomenological consequences. More generally, we show how results at smaller $f$ cannot be na\"{\i}vely extrapolated to $f=\mathcal{O}({M}_{P})$ as, contrary to conventional wisdom, gravity and special relativity can both become relevant in the same regime. We clarify the rate of decay by reviewing and extending previous work on oscillons and axion stars, which imply a fast decay rate even for so-called dilute states at large $f$.
