Abstract

After reviewingthe basics of Critical Phenomena in Gravitational Collapse of a spherically symmetric perfect fluid system, we address the relevance of adding angular momentum to the process. We study two different examples: the same perfect fluid but now with angular momentum, and Vlasov matter (collisionless particles, each with angular momentum). Using linear perturbation theory we show that in the former case there are still critical phenomena, explicitly predictingthe associated scalingla ws. We show that, on the contrary, critical phenomena are not generic for Vlasov matter.
