Nonspherical perturbations of critical collapse and cosmic censorship
نویسنده
چکیده
Choptuik has demonstrated that naked singularities can arise in gravitational collapse from smooth, asymptotically flat initial data, and that such data have codimension one in spherical symmetry. Here we show, for perfect fluid matter with equation of state p = ρ/3, by perturbing around spherical symmetry, that such data have in fact codimension one in the full phase space, at least in a neighborhood of spherically symmetric data.

Cosmic Censorship: a Current Perspective
End state of gravitational collapse and the related cosmic censorship conjecture continue to be amongst the most important open problems in gravitation physics today. My purpose here is to bring out several aspects related to gravitational collapse and censorship, which may help towards a better understanding of the issues involved. Possible physical constraints on gravitational collapse scenar...
متن کاملThe nature of spacetime singularities
Present knowledge about the nature of spacetime singularities in the context of classical general relativity is surveyed. The status of the BKL picture of cosmological singularities and its relevance to the cosmic censorship hypothesis are discussed. It is shown how insights on cosmic censorship also arise in connection with the idea of weak null singularities inside black holes. Other topics c...
متن کاملCollapsing Shells of Radiation in Higher Dimensional Spacetime and Cosmic Censorship Conjecture
Gravitational collapse of radiation shells in a non self-similar higher dimensional spherically symmetric spacetime is studied. Strong curvature naked singularities form for a highly inhomogeneous collapse, violating the cosmic censorship conjecture. As a special case, self similar models can be constructed.
متن کاملNaked singularity formation for higher dimensional inhomogeneous dust collapse
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 out...
متن کاملGravitational Collapse and Cosmic Censorship
We review the status of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, which asserts, in essence, that all singularities of gravitational collapse are hidden within black holes. Although little progress has been made toward a general proof (or disproof) of this conjecture, there has been some notable recent progress in the study of some examples and special cases related to the conjecture. These result...
