Quantum Creation of Black Hole by Tunneling in Scalar Field Collapse

Abstract

Continuously self-similar solution of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a scalar field is studied to investigate quantum mechanical black hole formation by tunneling in the subcritical case where, classically, the collapse does not produce a black hole.
