Collapsing Scalar Field with Kinematic Self-Similarity of the Second Kind in 2+1 Gravity

arXiv:gr-qc/0406026 · doi:10.1142/S0218271805006882

Abstract

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.
