We report a new critical solution found at the threshold of axisymmetric gravitational collapse of a complex scalar field with angular momentum. To carry angular momentum the scalar field cannot be axisymmetric; however, its azimuthal dependence is defined so that the resulting stress energy tensor and spacetime metric are axisymmetric. The critical solution found is non-spherical, discretely self-similar with an echoing exponent of 0.42 (+- 4%), and exhibits a scaling exponent of 0.11 (+- 10%) in near critical collapse. Our simulations suggest that the solution is universal (within the imposed symmetry class), modulo a family-dependent constant phase in the complex plane.

  1. Nonlinear Dynamics near the Threshold of Gravitational Collapse

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Perturbation theory around flat space fails before black hole formation once peak luminosity exceeds ~10^-2 L_Planck; near criticality the spectrum flattens to 1/ω, matching the prediction from discrete self-similarity.

  2. Bubble dynamics and vortex formation in holographic first-order superfluid phase transitions

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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 ...

  3. Entanglement inequalities, black holes and the architecture of typical states

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Typical states in large-N holographic CFTs exhibit UV and IR length scales set by energy and charges, producing factorization that isolates black holes via a corona of saturated entanglement wedges and extends ETH to ...

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

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

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