We observe two distinct types of phase transition at the threshold of black hole formation. Type II phase transitions occur when the radial extent $(lambda)$ of the initial pulse is less than the Compton wavelength ($mu^{-1}$) of the scalar field. The critical solution is that found by Choptuik in the collapse of massless scalar fields. Type I phase transitions, where the black hole formation turns on at finite mass, occur when $lambda mu gg 1$. The critical solutions are unstable soliton stars with masses $alt 0.6 mu^{-1}$. Our results in combination with those obtained for the collapse of a Yang-Mills field~{[M.~W. Choptuik, T. Chmaj, and P. Bizon, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 424 (1996)]} suggest that unstable, confined solutions to the Einstein-matter equations may be relevant to the critical point of other matter models. | | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/9709014 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
