Critical Collapse Beyond Spherical Symmetry: General Perturbations of the Roberts Solution
Abstract
This paper studies the non-spherical perturbations of the continuously self-similar critical solution of the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field (the Roberts solution). The exact analysis of the perturbation equations reveals that there are no growing non-spherical perturbation modes.
