The aim of the present letter is to explain the `critical behaviour' observed in numerical studies of spherically symmetric gravitational collaps of a perfect fluid. A simple expression results for the critical index $\gamma$ of the black hole mass considered as an order parameter. $\gamma$ turns out to vary strongly with the parameter $k$ of the assumed equation of state $p=k\rho$.

  1. Gravitational Waves from Black Hole Reheating: The Scalar-Induced Component

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Accounting for the minimal mass spread of primordial black holes from gravitational collapse suppresses the Poltergeist GW background to the level of generic scalar-induced signals and reopens ultra-light PBH parameter space.

  2. Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  3. Quantum Critical Collapse Abhors a Naked Singularity

    gr-qc 2025-09 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.

  4. Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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...
