We examine ways to write the Choptuik critical solution as the evolution of scale invariant variables. It is shown that a system of scale invariant variables proposed by one of the authors does not evolve periodically in the Choptuik critical solution. We find a different system, based on maximal slicing. This system does evolve periodically, and may generalize to the case of axisymmetry or of no symmetry at all.

    Semiclassical quantum corrections in critical collapse yield a finite mass gap and transition from classical Type II to quantum Type I behavior, providing a quantum enforcement of weak cosmic censorship.

    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 Typ...
