We study classical and quantum self-similar collapses of a massless scalarfield in higher dimensions, and examine how the increase in the number ofdimensions affects gravitational collapse and black hole formation. Higherdimensions seem to favor formation of black hole rather than other finalstates, in that the initial data space for black hole formation enlarges asdimension increases. On the other hand, the quantum gravity effect on thecollapse lessens as dimension increases. We also discuss the gravitationalcollapse in a brane world with large but compact extra dimensions.Comment: Improved a few arguments and added a figur
