We report on a numerical study of gravitational waves undergoing gravitational collapse due to their self-interaction. We consider several families of asymptotically flat initial data which, similar to the well known Choptuik's discovery, can be fine-tuned between dispersal into empty space and collapse into a black hole. We find that near-critical spacetimes exhibit behavior similar to the collapse of scalar field: For different families of initial data, we observe universal "echoes" in the form of irregularly repeating approximate scaled copies of the same piece of spacetime.

  1. Angle of Null Energy Condition Lines in Critical Spacetimes

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In Choptuik critical collapse, the null energy condition saturation lines meet at the center with a universal angle α=2 arccot(D−1), numerically α≈0.64 in four dimensions.

  2. Comparing twist-free axisymmetric gravitational waves near the black hole threshold

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Independent codes (bamps, prague, sphGR) agree on near-threshold vacuum wave collapse, confirming family-dependent scaling and quasi-universal strong-field features.
