How to bypass Birkhoff through extra dimensions A simple framework for investigating the gravitational collapse in vacuum
It is fair to say that our current mathematical understanding of the dynamics of gravitational collapse to a black hole is limited to the spherically symmetric situation and, in fact, even in this case much remains to be learned. The reason is that Einstein’s equations become tractable only if they are reduced to a 1 + 1 dimensional system of partial differential equations. Due to this technica...
متن کاملCritical behavior in vacuum gravitational collapse in 4 + 1 dimensions.
We show that the (4 + 1)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations admit gravitational waves with radial symmetry. The dynamical degrees of freedom correspond to deformations of the three-sphere orthogonal to the (t,r) plane. Gravitational collapse of such waves is studied numerically and shown to exhibit discretely self-similar type II critical behavior at the threshold of black hole formation.
متن کاملVacuum instability and gravitational collapse
We argue that (0, 1) heterotic string models with 4 non-heterotic spacetime dimensions may provide an instability of the vacuum to gravitational polarization in globally strong gravitational fields. This instability would be triggered during gravitational collapse by a nonlocal quantum switching process, and lead to the formation of regions of a high temperature broken symmetry phase which woul...
متن کاملSpacetime Junctions and the Collapse to Black Holes in Higher Dimensions
We review recent results about the modelling of gravitational collapse to black holes in higher dimensions. The models are constructed through the junction of two exact solutions of the Einstein field equations: an interior collapsing fluid solution and a vacuum exterior solution. The vacuum exterior solutions are either static or containing gravitational waves. We then review the global geomet...

Barrabès-Israel null shell formalism is used to study the gravitational collapse of a thin cylindrical null shell in vacuum. In general the lightlike matter shell whose history coincides with a null hypersurface is characterized by a surface energy density. In addition, a gravitational impulsive wave is present on this null hypersurface whose generators admit both the shear and expansion. In ...
