Sufficient Condition for Blackhole Formation in Spherical Gravitational Collapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
A sufficient condition for the validity of Cosmic Censorship in spherical gravitational collapse is formulated and proved. The condition relies on an attractive mathematical property of the apparent horizon, which holds if “minimal” requirements of physical reasonableness are satisfied by the matter model.

On the Nonspherical Nature of Halo Formation
We present a new collapse condition to describe the formation of dark halos via nonspherical gravitational clustering. This new nonspherical collapse condition is obtained by the logical generalization of the spherical model to the nonspherical one. By solving a diffusion-like random matrix equation with the help of the Monte Carlo method, we show that this nonspherical collapse condition yield...
متن کاملNew Mathematical Framework for Spherical Gravitational Collapse
A theorem, giving necessary and sufficient condition for naked singularity formation in spherically symmetric non static spacetimes under hypotheses of physical acceptability, is formulated and proved. The theorem relates existence of singular null geodesics to existence of regular curves which are super-solutions of the radial null geodesic equation, and allows us to treat all the known exampl...
متن کاملGenericity of Blackhole Formation in the Gravitational Collapse of Homogeneous Self-interacting Scalar Fields
The gravitational collapse of a wide class of self-interacting homogeneous scalar fields models is analyzed. The class is characterized by certain general conditions on the scalar field potential, which, in particular, include both asymptotically polynomial and exponential behaviors. Within this class, we show that the generic evolution is always divergent in a finite time, and then make use of...
متن کاملA naturalness argument for covered and naked singularities in gravitational collapse
We give a naturalness argument to show that both covered and naked singularities should occur generically in spherical gravitational collapse in classical general relativity, subject to the assumption of the dominant energy condition. An outstanding open problem in classical general relativity and relativistic astrophysics is to determine the final fate of the continual gravitational collapse o...
