Query: Quantum Collapse of a Small Dust Shell   The full quantum mechanical collapse of a small relativistic dust shell is
studied analytically, asymptotically and numerically starting from the exact
finite dimensional classical reduced Hamiltonian recently derived by
H\'aj{\'\i}\v{c}ek and Kucha\v{r}. The formulation of the quantum mechanics
encounters two problems. The first is the multivalued nature of the Hamiltonian
and the second is the construction of an appropriate self adjoint momentum
operator in the space of the shell motion which is confined to a half line. The
first problem is solved by identifying and neglecting orbits of small action in
order to obtain a single valued Hamiltonian. The second problem is solved by
introducing an appropriate lapse function. The resulting quantum mechanics is
then studied by means of analytical and numerical techniques. We find that the
region of total collapse has very small probability. We also find that the
solution concentrates around the classical Schwarzschild radius. The present
work obtains from first principles a quantum mechanics for the shell and
provides numerical solutions, whose behavior is explained by a detailed WKB
analysis for a wide class of collapsing shells.
