Nature of Singularity in Einstein-Massless Scalar Theory
Abstract
We study the static and spherically symmetric exact solution of the Einstein-massless scalar equations given by Janis, Newman and Winicour. We find that this solution satisfies the weak energy condition and has strong globally naked singularity.
