On vacuum gravitational collapse in nine dimensions
arXiv:gr-qc/0511064 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.72.121502
Abstract
We consider the vacuum gravitational collapse for cohomogeneity-two solutions of the nine dimensional Einstein equations. Using combined numerical and analytical methods we give evidence that within this model the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole is asymptotically stable. In addition, we briefly discuss the critical behavior at the threshold of black hole formation.
