The particular features of the collapse of Langmuir waves in a two-dimensional geometry are discussed. The results of a simulation of the collapse kinetics are used to identify regions above the critical level corresponding to the two limiting cases of a pure collapse and of a quasistationary caviton and also to an intermediate case of the final stage of the evolution of a cavity.
