Non-Universality of Critical Behaviour in Spherically Symmetric Gravitational Collapse

Abstract

The aim of the present letter is to explain the `critical behaviour' observed in numerical studies of spherically symmetric gravitational collaps of a perfect fluid. A simple expression results for the critical index γ of the black hole mass considered as an order parameter. γ turns out to vary strongly with the parameter k of the assumed equation of state p=k.
