Self-Similar Collapse of Scalar Field in Higher Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper constructs continuously self-similar solution of a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a scalar field in n dimensions. The qualitative behavior of these solutions is explained, and closed-form answers are provided where possible. Equivalence of scalar field couplings is used to show a way to generalize minimally coupled scalar field solutions to the model with general coupling.

Higher Dimensional Self-similar Spherical Symmetric Scalar Field Collapse and Critical Phenomena in Black Hole Formation
The higher dimensional spherical symmetric scalar field collapse problem is studied in the light of the critical behavior in black hole formation. To make the analysis tractable, the self similarity is also imposed. By giving a new view to the self-similar scalar field collapse problem, we give the general formula for the critical exponents in higher dimensions. In the process, the explanation ...
متن کاملGravitational Collapse of a Massless Scalar Field and a Perfect Fluid with Self-Similarity of the First Kind in (2+1) Dimensions
Self-similar solutions of a collapsing perfect fluid and a massless scalar field with kinematic selfsimilarity of the first kind in 2+1 dimensions are obtained. Their local and global properties of the solutions are studied. It is found that some of them represent gravitational collapse, in which black holes are always formed, and some may be interpreted as representing cosmological models.
متن کاملUnderstanding critical collapse of a scalar field
I construct a spherically symmetric solution for a massless real scalar field minimally coupled to general relativity which is discretely self-similar (DSS) and regular. This solution coincides with the intermediate attractor found by Choptuik in critical gravitational collapse. The echoing period is ∆ = 3.4453 ± 0.0005. The solution is continued to the future self-similarity horizon, which is ...
متن کاملCritical collapse of a rotating scalar field in 2 + 1 dimensions
We carry out numerical simulations of the collapse of a complex rotating scalar field of the form Ψ(t, r, θ) = eΦ(t, r), giving rise to an axisymmetric metric, in 2+1 spacetime dimensions with cosmological constant Λ < 0, for m = 0, 1, 2, for four 1-parameter families of initial data. We look for the familiar scaling of black hole mass and maximal Ricci curvature as a power of |p−p∗|, where p i...
متن کاملUniversal Scaling and Echoing in Gravitational Collapse of a Complex Scalar Field
This paper studies gravitational collapse of a complex scalar field at the threshold for black hole formation, assuming that the collapse is spherically symmetric and continuously self-similar. A new solution of the coupled Einstein-scalar field equations is derived, after a small amount of numerical work with ordinary differential equations. The universal scaling and echoing behavior discovere...
