Abstract: (arXiv)
We present an exact collapsing solution to 2+1 gravity with a negative cosmological constant minimally coupled to a massless scalar field, which exhibits physical properties making it a candidate critical solution. We discuss its global causal structure and its symmetries in relation with those of the corresponding continously self-similar solution derived in the case. Linear perturbations on this background lead to approximate black hole solutions. The critical exponent is found to be .- space-time: anti-de Sitter
