| Summary:

According to the Schr"odinger-Poisson equations, fuzzy dark matter (FDM) can
form a stable equilibrium configuration, the so-called FDM soliton. In
principle, given the FDM particle mass, the profile of the FDM soliton is
fixed. In practice, however, there is a great diversity of structures in the
Universe. Possible causes of such diversity can lie in such sources as the
gravitoelectric field due to a central supermassive black hole, the
gravitomagnetic field due to the system angular momentum, an extra denser and
compact FDM soliton and an ellipsoidal baryon background. We find that the
effects of the gravitomagnetic field due to the soliton’s self-angular momentum
are very weak while those of the other sources are considerable.
