Scalar field black holes

Abstract

With a suitable decomposition of its energy-momentum tensor into pressureless matter and a vacuum type term, we investigate the spherical gravitational collapse of a minimally coupled, self-interacting scalar field, showing that it collapses to a singularity. The formed blackhole has a mass $M\sim 1/m$ (in Planck units), where $m$ is the mass of the scalar field. If the latter has the axion mass, $m\sim 10^{-5}$ eV, the former has a mass $M\sim 10^{-5}{M}_{\odot }$.
