Wyman's solution, self-similarity and critical behaviour

Abstract

We show that the Wyman's solution may be obtained from the four-dimensional Einstein's equations for a spherically symmetric, minimally coupled, massless scalar field by using the continuous self-similarity of those equations. The Wyman's solution depends on two parameters, the mass MM and the scalar charge Σ\Sigma. If one fixes MM to a positive value, say M0M_0, and let Σ2\Sigma^2 take values along the real line we show that this solution exhibits critical behaviour. For Σ2>0\Sigma^2 >0 the space-times have eternal naked singularities, for Σ2=0\Sigma^2 =0 one has a Schwarzschild black hole of mass M0M_0 and finally for M02Σ2<0-M_0^2 \leq \Sigma^2 < 0 one has eternal bouncing solutions.
