Gravitational stability of a massless scalar field
Creators
Description
A solution is obtained to the Einstein equations for a static, spherically symmetric, massless scalar field. The stability of a static, massless scalar field for a point source is studied. It is found that the field is unstable for small ratios of the scalar charge of the source to its mass but is stable for large ratios. It is proven that there exists a dimensionless number which limits the region of stability for the field
