Abstract

This Letter investigates the formation of quantum droplets in curved spacetime, highlighting the significant influence of curvature on the formation and properties of these objects. While our computations encompass various dimensions, we primarily focus on two dimensions. Our findings reveal a novel class of curvature-driven quantum effects leading to the formation of quasistable liquid droplets, suggesting a feasible pathway for experimental observation, particularly in microgravity environments.
