This work combines some of the results obtained on the study of solitons in relativistic fields and Bose-Einstein condensates. By using a first order formalism to solve the equations of motion of relativistic fields, introduced previously by our group, we construct several classes of lump solutions described by a single real scalar field. We show how these solutions can be controlled depending on a single parameter in the field potential. In condensed matter the solutions of the lump type correspond to bright solitons, very studied in the context of nonlinear crystals, fiber optics, Bose-Einstein condensates, etc. In all these cases, such solutions are obtained via a nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation, responsible for describing the propagation of pulses in optical fibers or crystals, or the atomic density in condensates. In this sense, our main goal is to study the soliton and breather modulations via nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We concentrate on the Bose-Einstein condensate in which the modulation of atomic density can be accomplished through the Feshbach resonance. We study cases where the nonlinearity is described by terms cubic, cubic and quintic, and purely quintic in the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation. Also, situations where two interacting condensates in which the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations are coupled, breather modulations, and the study of the soliton behavior under influence of chaotic, random and non-periodic perturbations in the nonlinearity of the system. In many cases we consider the condensate trapped in the cigarshaped configuration, i.e., with freedom in only one spatial dimension. Numerical simulations are performed to verify the stability of the solutions.
