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.

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.

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.

The internal structure of a charged spherical black hole is still a topic of debate. In a non-rotating but aspherical gravitational collapse to form a spherical charged black hole, the backscattered gravitational wave tails enter the black hole and are blueshifted at the Cauchy horizon. This has a catastrophic effect if combined with an outflux crossing the Cauchy horizon: a singularity develops at the Cauchy horizon and the effective mass inflates. Recently, a numerical study of a massless scalar field in the Reissner-Nordström background suggested that a spacelike singularity may form before the Cauchy horizon forms. We will show that there exists an approximate analytic solution of the scalar-field equations which allows the mass-inflation singularity at the Cauchy horizon to exist. In particular, we see no evidence that the Cauchy horizon is preceded by a spacelike singularity.

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.

Any local field theory can be equivalently reformulated in the so-called unfolded form. General unfolded equations are non-Lagrangian even though the original theory is Lagrangian. Making use of the unfolded massless scalar field equations as a basic example, the concept of Lagrange anchor is applied to perform a consistent path-integral quantization of unfolded dynamics. It is shown that the unfolded representation for the canonical Lagrange anchor of the d'Alembert equation inevitably involves an infinite number of space–time derivatives.
