abstract

We study the nonspherical linear perturbations of the discretely self-similar and spherically symmetric solution for a self-gravitating scalar field discovered by Choptuik in the context of marginal gravitational collapse. We find that all nonspherical perturbations decay. Therefore critical phenomena at the threshold of gravitational collapse, originally found in spherical symmetry, will extend to (at least slightly) nonspherical initial data.

Critical spacetime crystals in continuous dimensions

gr-qc · 2026-02-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Numerical construction of a one-parameter family of discretely self-similar critical spacetimes for massless scalar collapse in continuous D>3, giving echoing period Delta(D) and Choptuik exponent gamma(D) with a maximum in Delta near D=3.76.

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.
