|  Criticality and Self-Similarity in Gravitational Collapse | 
In General > s.a. 3D gravity; causality
   violation; singularities; solutions with symmetries.
  * The issue: M Choptuik, in numerical
    simulations of spherically symmetric scalar field collapse, found that, near the
    threshold for black-hole formation (criticality), the mass of the black hole
    that forms always depends on the parameter p in a family of initial data as ∝
    (p-pcrit)γ,
    where γ is the same for all kinds of matter and initial conditions
    (universality); The critical solution depended on r and t
    only through the combination r/t (self-similarity).
  * Development: Many other studies, with
    different families of data and types of matter, numerical and to some extent analytical, done
    since the first one; Universality may not be true [@ Maison PLB(96)gq/95].
