abstract
By fine-tuning generic Cauchy data, critical phenomena have recently been discovered in the black hole/no black hole "phase transition" of various gravitating systems. For the spherisymmetric real scalar field system, we find the "critical" spacetime separating the two phases by demanding discrete scale-invariance, analyticity, and an additional reflection-type symmetry. The resulting nonlinear hyperbolic boundary value problem, with the rescaling factor Delta as the eigenvalue, is solved numerically by relaxation. We find Delta = 3.4439 +/- 0.0004.

Quantum backreaction generates horizons that cloak the Choptuik naked singularity, reducing its predictability violation to the standard black hole evaporation problem.
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.
