What is critical collapse?

Initial data near the threshold of black hole formation, butotherwise generic

Pick a 1-parameter family of initial data and find the criticalvalue p∗ by bisection

For (approximately) scale-invariant physics: “type-II criticalphenomena”

arbitrarily small black hole mass M ∼ (p − p∗)γ

arbitrarily large curvature, eg. maxR ∼ (p∗ − p)−2γ

Naked singularities are codimension one in the space ofinitial data

History of numerical experiments

Choptuik 1993: massless spherically symmetric scalar field

Discrete self-similarity (DSS)

Since then, much more in spherical symmetry

perfect fluid P = kρ (CSS)massive scalar, wave maps, YM, vectors, spinors, Vlasov...Higher and lower dimensions, Λ > 0 and Λ < 0

Axisymmetric vacuum

Abrahams and Evans 1994attempts to repeat this have failed

With angular momentum

with Baumgarte P = kρ (this talk)with Joanna Ja lmuzna scalar field e imθΦ(t, r) in 2+1

Dynamical systems picture

GR as a dynamical system on space of initial data (= phasespace)

Asymptotically flat regular data can

form a starcollapse to a black holedisperse

Threshold between collapse and dispersion

empirically a hypersurfaceitself a dynamical system

Attractors in collapse threshold

static/stationary L ∂∂tg = 0 (type I)

continuously/discretely self-similar L ∂∂τg = −2g (type II)

Self-similarity

Adapted coordinates (τ, x i ) and variables Z :example perfect fluid Z = (gµν , ρ, v

i )

gµν(τ, x) = e−2τ gµν(x, τ) ρ(τ, x) = e2τ ρ(x, τ), v i (τ, x)

Z scale-invariant, e−τ measures scale

any length ∼ e−τ , R ∼ e2τ , M ∼ e−(D−3)τ

But we can choose τ to also be a time coordinate

CSS if and only if Z (x, τ) = Z (x)

. . . and DSS if and only if Z (x, τ + ∆) = Z (x, τ)

Initial data for rotating perfect fluids

Perfect fluid with “ultrarelativistic” equation of state P = kρ

Time evolutions of asymptotically flat initial data

Consider 2-parameter families of initial data with “strength” pand “rotation” q

M(p,−q) = M(p,q)

J(p,−q) = −J(p,q)

For example, we can define q→ −q to be a reflection

From now on restrict to axisymmetry

Putting this together, we get as before

M = (hom.func.deg.one)(|P|

1λ0 , |Q|

1λ1

)= |P|

1λ0 FM(δ)

J = (hom.func.deg.two)(. . . ) = |P|2λ0 FJ(δ)

J

M2= (hom.func.deg.zero)(. . . ) = FJ/M2(δ)

But we now explore large values of δ

The attracting manifold of the critical solution now hascodimension two

But 0 < λ1 λ0, so q does not have to be very small

The black hole threshold has always codimension one. It mustbe at some δ = δ∗
