We provide a complete description of the critical threshold phenomena for the
two-dimensional localized Euler-Poisson equations, introduced by the authors in
[Liu & Tadmor, Comm. Math Phys., To appear]. Here, the questions of global
regularity vs. finite-time breakdown for the 2D Restricted Euler-Poisson
solutions are classified in terms of precise explicit formulae, describing a
remarkable variety of critical threshold surfaces of initial configurations. In
particular, it is shown that the 2D critical thresholds depend on the relative
size of three quantities: the initial density, the initial divergence as well
as the initial spectral gap, that is, the difference between the two
eigenvalues of the 2×2 initial velocity gradient
