New results on the dynamics of critical collapse

Abstract

We study the dynamics of the critical collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field. Approximate analytic expressions for the metric functions and matter field in the large-radius region are obtained. In the central region, owing to the boundary conditions, the equation of motion for the scalar field is reduced to the flat-spacetime form.
