23 Apr 1998 | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D58 (1998) 024006 | Subject: | gr-qc | Abstract: | We investigate conformally coupled quantum matter fields on spherically symmetric, continuously self-similar backgrounds. By exploiting the symmetry associated with the self-similarity the general structure of the renormalized quantum stress-energy tensor can be derived. As an immediate application we consider a combination of classical, and quantum perturbations about exactly critical collapse. Generalizing the standard argument which explains the scaling law for black hole mass, $M propto |eta-eta^*|^eta$, we demonstrate the existence of a quantum mass gap when the classical critical exponent satisfies $eta geq 0.5$. When $eta < 0.5$ our argument is inconclusive; the semi-classical approximation breaks down in the spacetime region of interest. | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/9804058 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
