    Abstract

    Computing boson star families traditionally requires repeated solution of nonlinear eigenvalue boundary-value problems and careful numerical continuation through turning points. We develop a physics-informed neural network that learns the map from the physical parameters and radial coordinate directly to the scalar and metric fields over an equilibrium solution manifold. Regularity and asymptotic boundary conditions are incorporated into the network output, while the training objective combines pointwise supervision, Einstein-Klein-Gordon residuals, and curve-level constraints on the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass and Noether charge. A trained model generates a complete configuration in a single forward pass. Across representative one-, two-, and three-branch families, the method reconstructs the mass-frequency spirals and conserved quantities, including configurations on inner branches that require delicate continuation in conventional solvers. These results establish physics-informed surrogate learning as a practical route to amortized exploration of nonlinear self-gravitating solution families.
