The effects of magnetic fields on accretion disks around compact objects are of high importance in the study of their general properties and dynamics. Here we analyze the influence of magnetic fields on thick accretion disks around rotating boson stars. We assume a uniform constant specific angular momentum distribution and a polytropic equation of state. The purely hydrodynamical thick disk solutions are extended to magnetized solutions by adding a toroidal magnetic field and then analyzed in terms of a magnetization parameter. We consider one-centered solutions as well as two-centered solutions and focus on retrograde tori, since they are more distinctive due to their unique properties. Our computed solutions indicate that strong magnetic fields influence the characteristics of thick disks around rotating boson stars and possibly affect their unique features.
