The collapse of a massless scalar field in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation is studied in the analysis of both analytical solution and numerical one. By conformally transforming the Roberts's solution into the Brans-Dicke frame, we…

We study continuously self-similar solutions of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory, with an arbitrary dilaton coupling. Self-similarity is an emergent symmetry of gravitational collapse near the threshold of black hole…

We investigate the gravitational collapse of a massive scalar field in a conformally flat, spherically symmetric spacetime within general relativity. The collapsing matter distribution is modeled using a minimally coupled homogeneous scalar…

We report on a numerical study of the spherically symmetric collapse of a self-gravitating massless scalar field. Earlier results of Choptuik(1992, 1994) are confirmed. The field either disperses to infinity or collapses to a black hole,…

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…

A numerical simulation is performed of the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field. The algorithm uses the null initial value formulation of the Einstein-scalar equations, but does {\it not} use adaptive mesh…

Homothetic scalar field collapse is considered in this article. By making a suitable choice of variables the equations are reduced to an autonomous system. Then using a combination of numerical and analytic techniques it is shown that there…

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 the quest of the critical solution for scalar field collapse in 2+1 gravity with a negative cosmological constant, we present a one parameter family of solutions with continuous self similar (CSS) behaviour near the central singularity.…

We analyze a bifurcation phenomenon associated with critical gravitational collapse in a family of self-gravitating SU(2) $\sigma$-models. As the dimensionless coupling constant decreases, the critical solution changes from discretely…

Critical collapse of a massless scalar field in spherical symmetry is systematically studied. We combine numerical simulations and asymptotic analysis, and synthesize critical collapse, spacetime singularities, and complex science. First…

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…

A spherically symmetric collapsing scalar field model is discussed with a dissipative fluid which includes a heat flux. This vastly general matter distribution is analyzed at the expense of a high degree of symmetry in the space-time, that…

We investigate the general relativistic collapse of spherically symmetric, massless spin-1/2 fields at the threshold of black hole formation. A spherically symmetric system is constructed from two spin-1/2 fields by forming a spin singlet…

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 study the singularity created in the supercritical collapse of a spherical massless scalar field. We first model the geometry and the scalar field to be homogeneous, and find a generic solution (in terms of a formal series expansion)…

We study the critical collapse of a massless scalar field with angular momentum in spherical symmetry. In order to mimic the effects of angular momentum we perform a sum of the stress-energy tensors for all the scalar fields with the same…

The critical solution in Choptuik scaling is shown to be closely related to the critical solution in the black-string black-hole transition (the merger), through double analytic continuation, and a change of a boundary condition. The…

This paper studies gravitational collapse of a complex scalar field at the threshold for black hole formation, assuming that the collapse is spherically symmetric and continuously self-similar. A new solution of the coupled Einstein-scalar…

A massless scalar field minimally coupled to the gravitational field in a simplified spherical symmetry is discussed. It is shown that, in this case, the solution found by Roberts, describing a scalar field collapse, is in fact the most…
