Abstract: (APS)
We carry out numerical simulations of the gravitational collapse of a perfect fluid with the ultrarelativistic equation of state , in spherical symmetry in spacetime dimensions with . At the threshold of prompt collapse, we find type II critical phenomena (apparent horizon mass and maximum curvature scale as powers of distance from the threshold) for , and type I critical phenomena (lifetime scales as logarithm of distance from the threshold) for . The type I critical solution is static, while the type II critical solution is not self-similar (as in higher dimensions), but contracting quasistatically.Note:
