Dynamics of apparent horizons in quantum gravitational collapse    [PDF]

Yaser Tavakoli, Joao Marto, Andrea Dapor

We study the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field within the effective scenario of loop quantum gravity. Classical singularity is avoided and replaced by a quantum bounce in this model. It is shown that, quantum gravity effects predict a threshold scale below which no horizon can form as the collapse evolves towards the bounce.
