15 Comments Evaluation The result Φ(r) is nothing new! The same linearized with ( ) ( ( ) ) rm rm 2 erf = γ 1/2; γ( /2; r 2 /4θ) has already been done by Nicolini 2005 (arxiv:hep-th/ ), where θ = 1/M is the NCBH fundamental length and therefore M is the minimal length. The same result was also recovered in 2005 by Gruppuso (arxiv:hep-th/ ) with the erf representation. None of them were cited by Biswas, Gerwick, Koivisto, Mazumdar 2011 (arxiv: ).

16 Boosting the Object of investigation: Collapsing spherical thin null shell. To do so: Boost point source along y-axis with constant ultrarelativistic velocity β. After comoving transformation (t, y) (v, u), the field is found as Φ = 4GM F (ζ 2 ) δ(u) F (z) = 0 ds f (s) e z/(4s) s Remember: Only HD/GF has f 0. For example in GF, Boosting the Apparent horizon or not Conclusions F (z) z 1 4 z2 + O(z 3 ) (1) 16 / 18

17 Apparent horizon or not Author considers ominous set of photons added to the spacetime: ds 2 = ds dh2 Determine the position of an apparent horizon by 0 = ( g θθ ) 2 = ( (r 2 GM r zf (z))) 2 Find: For small enough mass M there is no apparent horizon! Mass gap for mini-black hole. Funnily: The divergence is a result of the unphysical assumption, that the thickness of the null shell is zero, and for the collapse of the shell with finite thickness this divergence becomes softer or is absent. Boosting the Apparent horizon or not Conclusions 17 / 18

18 Conclusions Evaluation In comparison with our models, eg. GUP, holographic/ self-regular principles or NCBHs, Frolov s result is probably not suprising: He spent a great effort to discover the G-lump which is smaller than the minimal mass and has no event horizon. Such an example is displayed for NCBH-like metric components g 00 in the lower plot (blue line ˆ= mass gap gravitational potential).
