Naked singularity formation for higher dimensional inhomogeneous dust collapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cosmic Censorship Conjecture (CCC)[1,2] states that the space-time singularity produced by gravitational collapse must be covered by the horizon. The CCC is yet one of the unresolved problem in General Relativity. In fact the conjecture has not yet any precise mathematical proof. However the singularity theorems as such do not state anything about the visibility of the singularity to an outside observer. Several models related to the gravitational collapse of matter has so far been constructed where one encounters a naked singularity [3-8].

Naked Singularities in Higher Dimensional Inhomogeneous Dust Collapse
We investigate the occurrence and nature of a naked singularity in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud described by a non self-similar higher dimensional Tolman spacetime. The necessary condition for the formation of a naked singularity or a black hole is obtained. The naked singularities are found to be gravitationally strong in the sense of Tipler and provide another exa...
متن کاملHigher dimensional inhomogeneous dust collapse and cosmic censorship
We investigate the occurrence and nature of a naked singularity in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud described by higher dimensional Tolman-Bondi space-times. The naked singularities are found to be gravitationally strong in the sense of Tipler. Higher dimensions seem to favour black holes rather than naked singularities.

متن کاملGravitational Collapse in Higher Dimension
Spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust collapse has been studied in higher dimensional spacetime and appearance of naked singularity has been analyzed both for non-marginal and marginally bound cases. It has been shown that naked singularity is possible for any arbitrary dimension in non-marginally bound case. For marginally bound case we have examined the radial null geodesics from the singu...
متن کاملNaked Singularities in Higher Dimensional Gravitational Collapse
Spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust collapse has been studied in higher dimensional spacetime and the factors responsible for the appearance of a naked singularity are analyzed in the region close to the centre for the marginally bound case. It is clearly demonstrated that in the former case naked singularities do not appear in the space-time having more than five dimension, which appears ...
