Equilibrium states from gravitational collapse of minimally coupled scalar field with non-zero potential

Abstract

We study the model of spherically symmetric and spatially homogeneous gravitational collapse of a minimally coupled scalar field. Our study focuses on obtaining the scalar field potential that leads to a final equilibrium state in the gravitational collapse. We demonstrate the existence of a class of scalar field solutions that can indeed result in such an end equilibrium state.
