It is to be expected that new numerical methods will be needed to do
simulations of gravitational collapse in 5 dimensions and with AdS
boundary conditions. Nonetheless, it is helpful to see how far we can
get using the sort of methods that have worked for GR in 4 dimensions.
This talk will presents results for spherically symmetric gravitational
collapse of a scalar field in AdS 5 in both global and Poincare
coordinates.
