First, we review some attempts made to find the exact spherically symmetric solutions to Einstein field equations in the presence of scalar fields. Wyman's solution in both the static and the nonstatic scalar field is discussed, and it is shown why in the case of the nonstatic homogenous matter field the static metric cannot be represented in terms of elementary functions. We mention here that if the space–time is static, according to field equations, there are two options for fixing the scalar field: static (time-independent) and nonstatic (time-dependent). All these solutions are limited to the minimally coupled massless scalar fields and also in the absence of the cosmological constant. Then we show that if we are interested to have homogenous isotropic scalar field matter, we can construct a series solution in terms of the scalar field's mass and cosmological constant. This solution is static and possesses a locally flat case as a special choice of the mass of the scalar field and can be interpreted as an effective vacuum. Therefore, the mass of the scalar field eliminates any locally gravitational effect as tidal forces. Finally, we describe why this system is unstable in the language of dynamical systems.

The (2+1)-dimensional geodesic circularly symmetric solutions of Einstein-massless-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant are found and their local and global properties are studied. It is found that one of them represents gravitational collapse where black holes are always formed.

In these lecture notes, we discuss recently conjectured instability of anti-de Sitter space, resulting in gravitational collapse of a large class of arbitrarily small initial perturbations. We uncover the technical details used in the numerical study of spherically symmetric Einstein-massless scalar field system with negative cosmological constant that led to the conjectured instability.

All the classes of static massless scalar field models currently available in the Einstein theory of gravity necessarily contain a strong curvature naked singularity. We obtain here a family of solutions for static massless scalar fields coupled to gravity, which does not have any strong curvature singularity. This class of models contain a thin shell of singular matter, which has a physical interpretation. The central curvature singularity is, however, avoided which is common to all static massless scalar field spacetime models known so far. Our result thus points out that the full class of solutions in this case may contain non-singular models, which is an intriguing possibility.

Here in this work, we investigated the possible cosmological consequences of the interaction of Brans–Dicke scalar field and massive scalar field by considering spherically symmetric Robertson–Walker metric. The present problem can also be treated as an extension work of [K. Priyokumar et al., Interaction of gravitational field and Brans–Dicke field, Res. Astron. Astrophys. 16(4) (2016) 64; K. Priyokumar and M. Dewri, Interaction of electromagnetic field and Brans–Dicke field, Chinease J. Phys. 54 (2016) 845]. The exact solutions of the field equations are obtained with seven different cases. The behavior of the model and their contribution to the process of the evolution are examined in detail from some explicit and reasonable values of free parameter. We also presented the variations of certain physical parameters versus cosmic time graphically to compare our solutions with the present observational findings. When we studied further, it is found that the cosmological term [Formula: see text] takes a great role in the accelerating expansion of our universe when both scalar fields are exponentially increasing functions of time, while the cosmological term will not appear in the case when both the scalar fields are exponentially decreasing functions of time. Also, the scalar field is seen to have a tendency to increase the expansion of the universe, thereby flattening the universe.

In this study, we investigated scalar field in [Formula: see text]-gravity by using LRS Bianchi type-I universe. Massless and massive scalar field models are separately constructed in [Formula: see text]-gravity. Massless scalar field models are examined in the cases of constant and exponential potential fields. For all models, solutions of field equations are obtained under the consideration of [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] functions for each model are separately attained in theory. It is shown that constructed models in the presence of massless scalar field permit quintessence scalar field. Also, it is observed that each model indicates expanding universe with deceleration. Also, kinematical quantities are analyzed in the light of obtained solutions. All models are concluded with a geometric and physical perspective.

In this paper, we investigate the linear perturbations of the spherically symmetric space–times with kinematic self-similarity of the second kind. The massless scalar field equations are solved which yield the background and an exact solutions for the perturbed equations. We discuss the boundary conditions of the resulting perturbed solutions. The possible perturbation modes turn out to be stable as well as unstable. The analysis leads to the conclusion that there does not exist any critical solution.

We show that the well-known most general static and spherically symmetric exact solution to the Einstein-massless scalar equations given by Wyman is the same as one found by Janis, Newman and Winicour several years ago. We obtain the energy associated with this space–time and find that the total energy for the case of the purely scalar field is zero.

From a variational action with nonminimal coupling with a scalar field and classical scalar and fermionic interaction, cosmological field equations can be obtained. Imposing a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric, the equations lead directly to a cosmological model consisting of two interacting fluids, where the scalar field fluid is interpreted as dark energy and the fermionic field fluid is interpreted as dark matter. Several cases were studied analytically and numerically. An important feature of the non-minimal coupling is that it allows crossing the barrier from a quintessence to phantom behavior. The insensitivity of the solutions to one of the parameters of the model permits it to find an almost analytical solution for the cosmological constant type of universe.

All the (2+1)-dimensional circularly symmetric solutions with kinematic self-similarity of the second kind to the Einstein-massless-scalar field equations are found and their local and global properties are studied. It is found that some of them represent gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field, in which black holes are always formed.
