Critical collapse in the axion-dilaton system in diverse dimensions
Abstract
We study the gravitational collapse of the axion-dilaton system suggested by type-IIB string theory in dimensions ranging from 4 to 10. We extend previous analysis concerning the role played by the global SL(2, R) symmetry and we evaluate the Choptuik exponents in the elliptic case.
