Higher dimensional inhomogeneous dust collapse and cosmic censorship
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Naked 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 کاملNaked 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 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 کاملFinal fate of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a dust cloud in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
We give a model of the higher-dimensional spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a dust cloud including the perturbative effects of quantum gravity. The n(≥ 5)-dimensional action with the Gauss-Bonnet term for gravity is considered and a simple formulation of the basic equations is given for the spacetime M ≈ M × K with a perfect fluid and a cosmological constant. This is a generalizat...
متن کاملParticle Creation in the Marginally Bound, Self Similar Collapse of Inhomogeneous Dust
We consider the evaporation of the (shell focusing) naked singularity formed during the self-similar collapse of a marginally bound inhomogeneous dust cloud, in the geometric optics approximation. We show that, neglecting the back reaction of the spacetime, the radiation on I+ tends to infinity as the Cauchy Horizon is approached. Two consequences can be expected from this result: (a) that the ...
