abstract

We present results from a numerical study of spherically-symmetric collapse of a self-gravitating, SU(2) gauge field. Two distinct critical solutions are observed at the threshold of black hole formation. In one case the critical solution is discretely self-similar and black holes of arbitrarily small mass can form. However, in the other instance the critical solution is the n=1 static Bartnik-Mckinnon sphaleron, and black hole formation turns on at finite mass. The transition between these two scenarios is characterized by the superposition of both types of critical behaviour.

Quantum Critical Collapse Abhors a Naked Singularity

gr-qc · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

One-loop quantum vacuum polarization in Einstein-scalar critical collapse generates a horizon and finite mass gap, enforcing black hole formation even under arbitrary fine-tuning.

Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

gr-qc · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Semiclassical one-loop analysis of solvable near-critical collapse solutions shows quantum corrections selecting a Boulware-like state and producing a growing mode that yields a finite mass gap and a transition to Type I behavior, enforcing weak cosmic censorship.

Dynamical Boson Stars

gr-qc · 2012-02-27 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.

  • Gravitational collapse in the vicinity of the extremal black hole critical point gr-qc · 2025-11-25 · unverdicted · none · ref 13 · internal anchor

    Numerical solutions reveal that the threshold of black hole formation in charged Vlasov matter shifts from stationary horizonless shells to extremal black holes past a critical charge-to-mass ratio of unity.

  • Bubble dynamics and vortex formation in holographic first-order superfluid phase transitions hep-th · 2026-04-19 · unverdicted · none · ref 27

    Holographic simulations of first-order superfluid transitions reveal that three-bubble collisions produce annihilating vortex-antivortex pairs whose lifetime scales logarithmically near critical radii, deviating from the geodesic rule.
