Criticality and Bifurcation in the Gravitational Collapse of a Self-Coupled Scalar Field
Eric W. Hirschmann, Douglas M. Eardley
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…
Critical Exponents and Stability at the Black Hole Threshold for a Complex Scalar Field
Eric W. Hirschmann, Douglas M. Eardley
This paper continues a study on Choptuik scaling in gravitational collapse of a complex scalar field at the threshold for black hole formation. We perform a linear perturbation ana…
S-Duality at the Black Hole Threshold in Gravitational Collapse
Douglas M. Eardley, Eric W. Hirschmann, James H. Horne
We study gravitational collapse of the axion/dilaton field in classical low energy string theory, at the threshold for black hole formation. A new critical solution is derived that…
