Abstract: (APS)
We carry out numerical simulations of the gravitational collapse of a rotating perfect fluid with the ultrarelativistic equation of state , in axisymmetry in spacetime dimensions with . We show that for , the critical phenomena are type I, and the critical solution is stationary. The picture for is more delicate: for small angular momenta, we find type II phenomena, and the critical solution is quasistationary, contracting adiabatically. The spin-to-mass ratio of the critical solution increases as it contracts, and hence, so does that of the black hole created at the end as we fine-tune to the black-hole threshold. Forming extremal black holes is avoided because the contraction of the critical solution smoothly ends as extremality is approached.Note:
