Dynamical Singularity Resolution in Spherically Symmetric Black Hole Formation
Feb, 2009Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
We study numerically the effects of loop quantum gravity motivated corrections on massless scalar field collapse in Painlev\'e-Gullstrand coordinates. Near criticality, the system exhibits Choptuik scaling with the added features of a mass gap and a new scaling relationship dependant upon the quantum length scale. The quantum corrected collapse exhibits a radiation-like phase which resolves the singularity: the black hole consists of a compact region of space-time bounded by a single, smooth trapping horizon. The 'evaporation' is not complete but leaves behind an outward moving remnant.- 04.70.Dy
