Dynamical Singularity Resolution in Spherically Symmetric Black Hole Formation

Understand

We study numerically the effects of loop quantum gravity motivated corrections on massless scalar field collapse in Painlev\'e-Gullstrand coordinates.

• Near criticality, the system exhibits Choptuik scaling with the added features of a mass gap and a new scaling relationship dependant upon the quantum length scale.
• The quantum corrected collapse exhibits a radiation-like phase which resolves the singularity: the black hole consists of a compact region of space-time bounded by a single, smooth trapping horizon.
• The "evaporation" is not complete but leaves behind an outward moving remnant.
