Critical Collapse of the Massless Scalar Field in Axisymmetry
M. W. Choptuik, E. W. Hirschmann, S. L. Liebling +1
We present results from a numerical study of critical gravitational collapse of axisymmetric distributions of massless scalar field energy. We find threshold behavior that can be d…

Critical behavior of gravitating sphalerons
R. Steven Millward, Eric W. Hirschmann
We examine the gravitational collapse of sphaleron type configurations in Einstein--Yang--Mills--Higgs theory. Working in spherical symmetry, we investigate the critical behavior i…
