Abstract

We study black hole formation during the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in asymptotically AdSDAdS_D spacetimes for D=4,5D=4,5. We conclude that spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in asymptotically AdSAdS spaces is turbulent and characterized by a Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectrum. Namely, we find that after an initial period of weakly nonlinear evolution, there is a regime where the power spectrum of the Ricci scalar evolves as ωs\omega^{-s} with the frequency, ω\omega, and s1.7±0.1s\approx 1.7\pm 0.1.
