Continuous self-similarity and <B> S</B>-duality
Abstract
We study the spherically symmetric collapse of the axion/dilaton system coupled to gravity. We show numerically that the critical solution at the threshold of black hole formation is continuously self-similar. Numerical and analytical arguments both demonstrate that the mass scaling away from criticality has a critical exponent of 0264-9381/13/8/017/img1.
