abstract

We derive the anomalous transformation law of the quantum stress tensor for a 2D massless scalar field coupled to an external dilaton. This provides a generalization of the Virasoro anomaly which turns out to be consistent with the trace anomaly. We apply it together with the equivalence principle to compute the expectation values of the covariant quantum stress tensor on a curved background. Finally we briefly illustrate how to evaluate vacuum polarization and Hawking radiation effects from these results.

Quantum fate of the Choptuik naked singularity

gr-qc · 2026-06-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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

Quantum Critical Collapse Abhors a Naked Singularity

gr-qc · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

One-loop quantum vacuum polarization in Einstein-scalar critical collapse generates a horizon and finite mass gap, enforcing black hole formation even under arbitrary fine-tuning.

Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

gr-qc · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

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.

    Semiclassical RN-dS evaporation via 2D dilaton gravity and anomaly flux yields monotonic neutral mass loss and rapid discharge, making classical equilibrium loci non-attractors and leading to empty de Sitter space.

    The FFN dilaton-coupled anomaly model applied to the 2D Bardeen-like black hole enforces r_∞=√2 ℓ for quiescent finite-radius branches and excludes most null branches except the borderline p=2 power-law case under stronger state-tail decay.
