A new transition between discrete and continuous self-similarity in critical gravitational collapse
A new transition between discrete and continuous self-similarity in critical gravitational collapse
We analyze a bifurcation phenomenon associated with critical gravitational
collapse in a family of self-gravitating SU(2) ? models. As the
dimensionless coupling constant decreases, the critical solution changes
from discretely self-similar (DSS) to continuously self-similar (CSS).
Numerical results provide evidence for a bifurcation which is analogous
to a heteroclinic loop bifurcation in dynamical systems, where two fixed
points (CSS) collide with a limit cycle (DSS) in phase space as the
coupling constant tends to a critical value.

Abstract
We analyze a bifurcation phenomenon associated with critical gravitational
collapse in a family of self-gravitating SU(2) ? models. As the
dimensionless coupling constant decreases, the critical solution changes
from discretely self-similar (DSS) to continuously self-similar (CSS).
Numerical results provide evidence for a bifurcation which is analogous
to a heteroclinic loop bifurcation in dynamical systems, where two fixed
points (CSS) collide with a limit cycle (DSS) in phase space as the
coupling constant tends to a critical value.
