Scale invariance and critical gravitational collapse

preprint1998arXivOpen access

Abstract

We examine ways to write the Choptuik critical solution as the evolution of scale invariant variables. It is shown that a system of scale invariant variables proposed by one of the authors does not evolve periodically in the Choptuik critical solution. We find a different system, based on maximal slicing. This system does evolve periodically, and may generalize to the case of axisymmetry or of no symmetry at all.
