Fractal Threshold Behavior in Vacuum Gravitational Collapse
arXiv:0711.4612 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.101102
Abstract
We present the numerical evidence for fractal threshold behavior in the five dimensional vacuum Einstein equations satisfying the cohomogeneity-two triaxial Bianchi type-IX ansatz. In other words, we show that a flip of the wings of a butterfly may influence the process of the black hole formation.
