Massive Elementary Particles and Black Holes

Abstract
An outstanding problem posed by Einstein's general theory of relativity to the quantum theory of point particle fields is the fate of a massive point particle; for, in the classical solutions of Einstein's theory, such a system should be a black hole. We use exact results in a new approach to quantum gravity to show that this conclusion is obviated by quantum loop effects. Phenomenological implications are discussed
