Abstract: The evolution of a soliton star filled with fermions is studied in the framework of general relativity. Such a system could be described by the surface tension σ0, the bag constant B, and the fermion number density ρ. One of the parameters mentioned above could prevail in the system and thus affect the spacetime inside the bubble. Whether it is described by Friedman or de Sitter metric depends on the prevailing parameter. In broad outline, the whole spacetime is divided by the surface of the soliton into the false vacuum region inside the soliton and the true vacuum region outside, the latter being described by the Schwarzschild line element. The aim of this paper is to study the equations of motion of the domain wall in two cases. In both of them, the Schwarzschild metric is outside the soliton. The de Sitter metric describes the interior in the first case, and in the second case, it is replaced by the Friedman metric. Analyzing obtained equations, one can draw conclusions concerning the further evolution of the soliton star.
