Exact solutions to problems in general relativity and gravitational theory (83C15)

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 $M$ and the scalar charge $Sigma$. If one fixes $M$ to a positive value, say $M_0$, and let $Sigm{a}^2$ take values along the real line we show that this solution exhibits critical behaviour. For $Sigm{a}^2>0$ the space-times have eternal naked singularities, for $Sigm{a}^2=0$ one has a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M_0$ and finally for $-M_0^{2}leqSigm{a}^2<0$ one has eternal bouncing solutions.
