We develop a numerical method suitable for gravitational collapse based on Cauchy evolution with an ingoing characteristic boundary. Unlike similar methods proposed recently (Ripley; Bieri, Garfinkle & Yau 2019/20), the numerical grid…
We conjecture (analytically) and demonstrate (numerically) the existence of a fine-structure above the power-law behavior of the mass of black-holes that form in gravitational collapse of spherical massless scalar field. The fine-structure…
