Scaling of curvature in sub-critical gravitational collapse
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform numerical simulations of the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field. For those data that just barely do not form black holes we find the maximum curvature at the position of the central observer. We find a scaling relation between this maximum curvature and distance from the critical solution. The scaling relation is analogous to that found by Choptuik for black hole mass for those data that do collapse to form black holes. We also find a periodic wiggle in the scaling exponent.

On critical collapse of gravitational waves
An axisymmetric collapse of non-rotating gravitational waves is numerically investigated in the subcritical regime where no black holes form but where curvature attains a maximum and decreases, following the dispersion of the initial wave packet. We find that near the threshold for black hole formation a curvature invariant with dimensions of length, scales as a power-law with the approximate e...
متن کاملChoptuik scaling in six dimensions
Critical behavior in gravitational collapse, as first found by Choptuik @1#, occurs at and near the threshold of black hole formation @2#. For a one-parameter family of initial data slightly above the threshold, the mass of the black hole, M BH , scales like (p2p*) . Here p is the parameter, p* is its critical value and g is a constant that depends on the type of matter, but not on the family o...
متن کاملDomain wall interacting with a black hole: A new example of critical phenomena
We study a simple system that comprises all main features of critical gravitational collapse, originally discovered by Choptuik and discussed in many subsequent publications. These features include universality of phenomena, mass-scaling relations, self-similarity, symmetry between super-critical and sub-critical solutions, etc. The system we consider is a stationary membrane (representing a do...

متن کاملGravitational 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...
