Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

Chih-Hung Wu, Marija Toma\v{s}evi\'c

Quantum corrections in critical collapse generate a finite mass gap that turns potential naked singularities into black holes.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Horizon-tracing analyses, incorporating both classical and quantum modes, reveal the emergence of a finite mass gap, signaling a phase transition from classical Type II to quantum-modified Type I behavior, thereby providing a quantum enforcement of the weak cosmic censorship.

C2weakest assumption

The one-loop semiclassical approximation using the anomaly-based method remains valid and sufficient for non-conformal matter fields in explicitly time-dependent critical spacetimes near arbitrarily high curvatures.

C3one line summary

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.
