abstract
We consider the problem of critical gravitational collapse of a scalar field in 2+1 dimensions with spherical (circular) symmetry. After surveying all the analytic, continuously self-similar solutions and considering their global structure, we examine their perturbations with the intent of understanding which are the critical solutions with a single unstable mode. The critical solution which we find is the one which agrees most closely with that found in numerical evolutions. However, the critical exponent which we find does not seem to agree with the numerical result.

Semiclassical one-loop analysis of solvable near-critical collapse solutions shows quantum corrections selecting a Boulware-like state and producing a growing mode that yields a finite mass gap and a transition to Type I behavior, enforcing weak cosmic censorship.
