Critical collapse in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five and six dimensions
Critical collapse in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five and six dimensions
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity provides a natural higher dimensional and higher order curvature generalization of Einstein gravity. It contains a new, presumably microscopic, length scale that should affect short distance properties of the dynamics, such as Choptuik scaling. We present the results of a numerical analysis in generalized flat slice coordinates of …
