Abstract: We present a family of exact solutions, depending on two parameters $alpha$ and $b$ (related to the scalar field strength), to the three-dimensional Einstein-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant $Lambda$. For $b=0$ these solutions reduce to the static BTZ family of vacuum solutions, with mass $M=-alpha$. For $beq0$, the solutions become dynamical and develop a strong spacelike central singularity. The $alpha<0$ solutions are black-hole like, with a global structure topologically similar to that of the BTZ black holes, and a finite effective mass. We show that the near-singularity behavior of the solutions with $alpha>0$ agrees qualitatively with that observed in numerical simulations of subcritical collapse. We analyze the linear perturbations of the threshold solution, $alpha=0$, in the $Lambda=0$ approximation, and find that it has only one unstable growing mode, which qualifies it as a candidate critical solution for scalar field collapse.
