Gravitational collapse and the formation of black holes for the spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system

چکیده
We review results on the spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat Einstein-Vlasov system. We focus on a recent result where we found explicit conditions on the initial data which guarantee the formation of a black hole in the evolution. Among these data there are data such that the corresponding solutions exist globally in Schwarzschild coordinates. We put these results into a more general context, and we ∗Support by the Institut Mittag-Leffler (Djursholm, Sweden) is gratefully acknowledged.

The formation of black holes in spherically symmetric gravitational collapse
We consider the spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat Einstein equations coupled to a suitable matter model and find explicit conditions on the initial data which guarantee the formation of a black hole in the evolution. We establish such results for general matter models characterized by general conditions on the matter quantities, and we prove that the collisionless gas as described by t...
متن کاملNew critical behavior in Einstein-Yang-Mills collapse
We extend the investigation of the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric Yang-Mills field in Einstein gravity and show that, within the black hole regime, a new kind of critical behavior arises which separates black holes formed via type I collapse from black holes formed through type II collapse. Further, we provide evidence that these new attracting critical solutions are in fact ...
متن کاملThe asymptotic behaviour in Schwarzschild time of Vlasov matter in spherically symmetric gravitational collapse
Given a static Schwarzschild spacetime of ADM mass M , it is wellknown that no ingoing causal geodesic starting in the outer domain r > 2M will cross the event horizon r = 2M in finite Schwarzschild time. In the present paper we show that in gravitational collapse of Vlasov matter this behaviour can be very different. We construct initial data for which a black hole forms and all matter crosses...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Semi-lagrangian Method for the Spherically Symmetric Vlasov-einstein System
We consider the spherically symmetric Vlasov-Einstein system in the case of asymptotically flat spacetimes. From the physical point of view this system of equations can model the formation of a spherical black hole by gravitational collapse or describe the evolution of galaxies and globular clusters. We present high-order numerical schemes based on semi-Lagrangian techniques. The convergence of...
