Abstract

We study the gravitational collapse of the axion-dilaton system suggested by type IIB string theory in dimensions ranging from four to ten. We extend previous analysis concerning the role played by the global SL(2, R) symmetry and also we explain ,why we do have three different assumptions(cases). We evaluate the Choptuik exponents in the elliptic case. Eventually we try to explain some of the open questions for two other assumptions and future directions.
