Abstract: (IOP)
An exact one parameter () family of solutions representing scalar field collapse is shown to exhibit a type of critical behaviour which has been discussed by Choptuik. The three possible evolutions are outlined. For supercritical evolution (when black holes form) it is shown that a quantity related to the mass of the black hole exhibits a power law dependence on, for near critical evolution. The solution supports the conjecture that black hole formation initially occurs at infinitesimal mass.References(0)
