New critical behavior in Einstein-Yang-Mills collapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the previously discovered colored black holes with a single unstable mode. @S0556-2821~99!03024-6#

Critical behavior of gravitating sphalerons
We examine the gravitational collapse of sphaleron type configurations in the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. Working in spherical symmetry, we investigate the critical behavior in this model. We provide evidence that for various initial configurations, there can be three different critical transitions between possible end states with different critical solutions sitting on the threshold betw...
متن کاملEchoing and scaling in Einstein-Yang-Mills critical collapse
Recently, Choptuik, Chmaj and Bizo n [1] have studied the gravitational collapse of an SU(2) Yang-Mills eld restricted to spherical symmetry. Near the boundary in initial data space between data which form black holes and data which do not (\critical collapse") they found two regions with qualitatively di erent behavior. In \region I" they found a mass gap, with the minimum black hole mass equa...
متن کاملAn Investigation of the Limiting Behavior of Particle-Like Solutions to the Einstein-Yang/Mills Equations and a New Black Hole Solution
A mathematical investigation of the limiting behavior of particle-like solutions of Einstein-Yang-Mills equations leads to a discovery of a new type of black hole solution.
متن کاملPhases of massive scalar field collapse
We study critical behavior in the collapse of massive spherically symmetric scalar fields. We observe two distinct types of phase transition at the threshold of black hole formation. Type II phase transitions occur when the radial extent (λ) of the initial pulse is less than the Compton wavelength (μ) of the scalar field. The critical solution is that found by Choptuik in the collapse of massle...
متن کاملEvolution of the Einstein Equations to Future Null Infinity
We describe recent progress with a formulation of the Einstein equations on constant mean curvature surfaces extending to future null infinity. Long-time stable numerical evolutions of an axisymmetric gravitationally perturbed Schwarzschild black hole have been obtained. Here we show how matter can be included in our formulation. We study late-time tails for the spherically symmetric Einstein– ...
