Critical phenomena in the collapse of gravitational waves
Thomas W. Baumgarte, Bernd Brügmann, Daniela Cors +6
Fine-tuning generic but smooth spherically-symmetric initial data for general relativity to the threshold of dynamical black hole formation creates arbitrarily large curvatures, me…
Rotational Elliptic Weingarten surfaces in S2xR and the Hopf problem
Isabel Fernández
We prove that any uniformly elliptic Weingarten (topological) sphere in S2xR must be congruent to the canonical example associated to the Weingarten equation. The result is obtaine…
Evolution of Brill waves with an adaptive pseudospectral method
Isabel Suárez Fernández, Sarah Renkhoff, Daniela Cors +2
As a first application of the new adaptive mesh functionality of the the pseudospectral numerical relativity code bamps, we evolve twist-free, axisymmetric gravitational waves clos…
Comparison of linear Brill and Teukolsky waves
Isabel Suárez Fernández, Thomas W. Baumgarte, David Hilditch
Motivated by studies of critical phenomena in the gravitational collapse of vacuum gravitational waves we compare, at the linear level, two common approaches to constructing gravit…
A semi-linear wave model for critical collapse
Isabel Suárez Fernández, Rodrigo Vicente, David Hilditch
In spherical symmetry compelling numerical evidence suggests that in general relativity solutions near the threshold of black hole formation exhibit critical behavior. One aspect o…
