Critical Behavior of Black Hole Formation in a Scalar Wave Collapse

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-11-19 v3

Abstract

We present a self-similar model of spherically symmetric collapse of a massless scalar field with a parameter pp. The black hole formation is explicitly shown to occur only in the strong-field implosion of p>1p >1. The field evolution in the critical limit p1 p \rightarrow 1 is compared with numerical results found by Choptuik.
