Critical phenomena in nonlinear sigma models
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We consider solutions to the nonlinear sigma model (wave maps) with target space S^3 and base space 3+1 Minkowski space, and we find critical behavior separating singular solutions from nonsingular solutions. For families of solutions with localized spatial support a self-similar solution is found at the boundary. For other families, we find that a static solution appears to sit at the boundary. This behavior is compared to the black hole critical phenomena found by Choptuik.
