We study an analytical solution to the Einstein's equations in (2+1)-dimensions, representing the self-similar collapse of a circularly symmetric, minimally coupled, massless, scalar field. Depending on the value of certain parameters, this solution represents the formation of naked singularities. Since our solution is asymptotically flat, these naked singularities may be relevant for the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in (2+1)-dimensions.

AbstractIn this paper we study Lorentz-violation (LV) effects on the thermodynamics properties of a real scalar field theory due to the presence of a constant background tensor field. In particular, we analyse and compute explicitly the deviations of the internal energy, pressure, and entropy of the system at thermal equilibrium due to the LV contributions. For the free massless scalar field we obtain exact results, whereas for the massive case we perform approximated calculations. Finally, we consider the self interacting $$\phi ^4$$ ϕ 4 theory, and perform perturbative expansions in the coupling constant for obtaining relevant thermodynamics quantities.

The self-interaction for a static scalar charge in the space-time of extreme charged anti-dilatonic wormhole is calculated. We assume that the scalar charge is the source of massless scalar field with minimal coupling of the scalar field to the curvature of spacetime.

Self-similar solutions of a collapsing perfect fluid and a massless scalar field with kinematic self-similarity of the first kind in 2+1 dimensions are obtained. The local and global properties of the solutions are studied. It is found that some of them represent gravitational collapse, in which black holes are always formed, and some may be interpreted as representing cosmological models.

Self-similar solutions of a collapsing perfect fluid and a massless scalar field with kinematic self-similarity of the second kind in (2 + 1) dimensions are obtained. The local and global properties of the solutions are studied. It is found that some of them represent gravitational collapse, in which black holes are always formed, and some may be interpreted as representing cosmological models.

We present new analytical self-similar solutions describing a collapse of a massless scalar field in scalar–tensor theories. The solutions exhibit a type of critical behavior. The black hole mass for the near critical evolution is analytically obtained for several scalar–tensor theories and the critical exponent is calculated. Within the framework of the analytical models we consider it is found that the black hole mass law for some scalar–tensor theories is of the form M BH =f(p-p cr )(p-p cr )γ which is slightly different from the general relativistic law M BH = const (p-p cr )γ. The explicit form of the function f depends on the particular scalar–tensor theory.

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 prove the stability of a spacetime with a naked singularity under scalar field perturbations, where the perturbations are regular at the singularity. This spacetime, found by Janis, Newman and Winicour and independently by Wyman, is sourced by a massless scalar field and also arises as a certain limit of a class of charged dilatonic solutions in string theory. This stability result opens up specific questions for investigation related to the cosmic censorship conjecture and the mechanism by which it is implemented in nature.
