We present results from the first fully relativistic simulations of the critical collapse of rotating radiation fluids. We observe critical scaling both in subcritical evolutions, in which case the fluid disperses to infinity and leaves…
We observe critical phenomena in spherical collapse of radiation fluid. A sequence of spacetimes $\cal{S}[\eta]$ is numerically computed, containing models ($\eta\ll 1$) that adiabatically disperse and models ($\eta\gg 1$) that form a black…
We perform fully nonlinear numerical simulations to study aspherical deformations of the critical self-similar solution in the gravitational collapse of ultra-relativistic fluids. Adopting a perturbative calculation, Gundlach predicted that…
We perform dynamical and nonlinear numerical simulations to study critical phenomena in the gravitational collapse of massless scalar fields in the absence of spherical symmetry. We evolve axisymmetric sets of initial data and examine the…
We investigate the dynamics of black hole critical collapse in the limit of a large number of spacetime dimensions, $D$. In particular, we study the spherical gravitational collapse of a massless, scale-invariant scalar field with…
We present results from a numerical study of critical gravitational collapse of axisymmetric distributions of massless scalar field energy. We find threshold behavior that can be described by the spherically symmetric critical solution with…
In spherical symmetry compelling numerical evidence suggests that in general relativity solutions near the threshold of black hole formation exhibit critical behavior. One aspect of this is that threshold solutions themselves are…
An axisymmetric collapse of non-rotating gravitational waves is numerically investigated in the subcritical regime where no black holes form but where curvature attains a maximum and decreases, following the dispersion of the initial wave…
We consider the self-similar solutions associated with the critical behavior observed in the gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric perfect fluids with equation of state $p=\alpha\mu$. We identify for the first time the global…
We examine the gravitational collapse of a non-linear sigma model in spherical symmetry. There exists a family of continuously self-similar solutions parameterized by the coupling constant of the theory. These solutions are calculated…
We investigate the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric, perfect fluid with equation of state P = (Gamma -1)rho. We restrict attention to the ultrarelativistic (``kinetic-energy-dominated'', ``scale-free'') limit where black…
We carry out numerical simulations of the gravitational collapse of a rotating perfect fluid with the ultrarelativistic equation of state $P=\kappa\rho$, in axisymmetry in $2+1$ spacetime dimensions with $\Lambda<0$. We show that for…
We study the threshold of gravitational collapse in spherically symmetric spacetimes governed by the Einstein-Maxwell-Vlasov equations. We numerically construct solutions describing a collapsing distribution of charged matter that either…
Numerical studies of the gravitational collapse of a stiff (P=rho) fluid have found the now familiar critical phenomena, namely scaling of the black hole mass with a critical exponent and continuous self-similarity at the threshold of black…
Fine-tuning generic but smooth spherically-symmetric initial data for general relativity to the threshold of dynamical black hole formation creates arbitrarily large curvatures, mediated by a universal self-similar solution that acts as an…
The aim of the present letter is to explain the `critical behaviour' observed in numerical studies of spherically symmetric gravitational collaps of a perfect fluid. A simple expression results for the critical index $\gamma$ of the black…
We investigate numerically the critical behaviour which occurs in the collapse of both spherically symmetric and asymmetric scalar field bubbles with full general relativity. We use a minimally coupled scalar field subject to a "double…
We report on a new behavior found in numerical simulations of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in self-gravitating SU(2) sigma models at intermediate gravitational coupling constants: The critical solution (between black hole…
We investigate the threshold of gravitational collapse with angular momentum, under the assumption that the critical solution is spherical and self-similar and has two growing modes, namely one spherical mode and one axial dipole mode…
In this paper we investigate the critical collapse of an ultrarelativistic perfect fluid with the equation of state $P=(\Gamma-1)\rho$ in the limit of $\Gamma\to 1$. We calculate the limiting continuously self similar (CSS) solution and the…
