Higher Dimensional Self-similar Spherical Symmetric Scalar Field Collapse and Critical Phenomena in Black Hole Formation
نویسنده
چکیده
The higher dimensional spherical symmetric scalar field collapse problem is studied in the light of the critical behavior in black hole formation. To make the analysis tractable, the self similarity is also imposed. By giving a new view to the self-similar scalar field collapse problem, we give the general formula for the critical exponents in higher dimensions. In the process, the explanation of the universality of the critical phenomena is given within the self-similar context.

Gravitational collapse in 2+1 dimensional AdS spacetime
We present results of numerical simulations of the formation of black holes from the gravitational collapse of a massless, minimally-coupled scalar field in 2+1 dimensional, axially-symmetric, anti de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The geometry exterior to the event horizon approaches the BTZ solution, showing no evidence of scalar ‘hair’. To study the interior structure we implement a variant of blac...
متن کاملCritical Behavior of Black Hole Formation in a Scalar Wave Collapse
Gravitational collapse is one of interesting phenomena in general relativity. In recent years, a large number of studies have been made on the dynamical behavior of a massless scalar field, in the context of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse. It has been shown that for a weak-field implosion scalar waves bounce and disperse to infinity, while a strong-field implosion leads to black h...
متن کاملSpherical Collapse of a Mass-Less Scalar Field With Semi-Classical Corrections
We investigate numerically spherically symmetric collapse of a scalar field in the semi-classical approximation. We first verify that our code reproduces the critical phenomena (the Choptuik effect) in the classical limit and black hole evaporation in the semi classical limit. We then investigate the effect of evaporation on the critical behavior. The introduction of the Planck length by the qu...
متن کاملSelf-Similar Collapse of Conformally Coupled Scalar Fields
A massless scalar field minimally coupled to the gravitational field in a simplified spherical symmetry is discussed. It is shown that, in this case, the solution found by Roberts[1], describing a scalar field collapse, is in fact the most general one. Taking that solution as departure point, a study of the gravitational collapse for the self-similar conformal case is presented. Introduction Gr...
متن کاملBlack hole formation from massive scalar field collapse in the Einstein–de Sitter universe
We study the spherically symmetric collapse of a real, minimally coupled, massive scalar field in an asymptotically Einstein–de Sitter spacetime background. By means of an eikonal approximation for the field and metric functions, we obtain a simple analytical criterion—involving the physical size and mass scales ~the field’s inverse Compton wavelength and the spacetime gravitational mass! of th...
