We present the first numerical simulations in null coordinates of the collapse of nonspherical regular initial data to a black hole. We restrict to twist-free axisymmetry, and re-investigate the critical collapse of a non-spherical massless…

We study here the evolution of a massless scalar field in a spacetime, developing from a regular initial spacelike surface. The Einstein equations and regularity and boundary conditions governing the same are specified. Both homogeneous and…

We present results from a numerical study of spherically-symmetric collapse of a self-gravitating, SU(2) gauge field. Two distinct critical solutions are observed at the threshold of black hole formation. In one case the critical solution…

We report on the existence and phenomenology of type II critical collapse within the one-parameter family of SU(2) $\sigma$-models coupled to gravity. Numerical investigations in spherical symmetry show discretely self-similar (DSS)…

We construct analytical models to study the critical phenomena in gravitational collapse of the Husain-Martinez-Nunez massless scalar field. We first use the cut-and-paste technique to match the conformally flat solution ($c=0$ ) onto an…

In this paper, we observe the collapse of a mass-less scalar field covariantly. We show that the strengths of the collapsing and dispersing modes of this scalar field will decide whether the collapse will end up in a black-hole or disperse.…

Einstein's field equations for a spherically symmetric metric coupled to a massless scalar field are reduced to a system effectively of second order in time, in terms of the variables $\mu=m/r$ and $y=(\alpha/ra)$, where $a$, $\alpha$, $r$…
