Abstract
A massless scalar field minimally coupled to the gravitational field in a simplified spherical symmetry is discussed. It is shown that, in this case, the solution found by Roberts, describing a scalar field collapse, is in fact the most general one. Taking that solution as a departure point, a study of the gravitational collapse for the self-similar conformal case is presented.Keywords
