Quantum Effects of the Conformal Anomaly in a 2D Model of Gravitational Collapse
Emil Mottola, Mani Chandra, Gian Mario Manca +1
The macroscopic effects of the quantum conformal anomaly are evaluated in a simplified two-dimensional model of gravitational collapse. The effective action and stress tensor of th…
On critical collapse of gravitational waves
Evgeny Sorkin
An axisymmetric collapse of non-rotating gravitational waves is numerically investigated in the subcritical regime where no black holes form but where curvature attains a maximum a…
An axisymmetric generalized harmonic evolution code
Evgeny Sorkin
We describe the first axisymmetric numerical code based on the generalized harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations which is regular at the axis. We test the code by investig…
Generalized harmonic formulation in spherical symmetry
Evgeny Sorkin, Matthew W. Choptuik
In this pedagogically structured article, we describe a generalized harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations in spherical symmetry which is regular at the origin. The general…
Nonuniform black strings in various dimensions
Evgeny Sorkin
The nonuniform black strings branch, which emerges from the critical Gregory-Laflamme string, is numerically constructed in dimensions 6 <= D <= 11 and extended into the strongly n…
Formation and Evaporation of Charged Black Holes
Evgeny Sorkin, Tsvi Piran
We investigate the dynamical formation and evaporation of a spherically symmetric charged black hole. We study the self-consistent one loop order semiclassical back-reaction proble…
