New Mathematical Framework for Spherical Gravitational Collapse

چکیده
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 examples of naked singularities from a unified viewpoint. New examples are also found using this approach, and perspectives are discussed.

Sufficient Condition for Blackhole Formation in Spherical Gravitational Collapse
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.
متن کاملHow to bypass Birkhoff through extra dimensions A simple framework for investigating the gravitational collapse in vacuum
It is fair to say that our current mathematical understanding of the dynamics of gravitational collapse to a black hole is limited to the spherically symmetric situation and, in fact, even in this case much remains to be learned. The reason is that Einstein’s equations become tractable only if they are reduced to a 1 + 1 dimensional system of partial differential equations. Due to this technica...
متن کاملNon-spherical gravitational collapse of strange quark matter
We study the non-spherical gravitational collapse of the strange quark null fluid. The interesting feature which emerges is that the non-spherical collapse of charged strange quark matter leads to a naked singularity whereas the gravitational collapse of neutral quark matter proceeds to form a black hole. In the present brief report we extend the earlier work of T.Harko and K.S.Cheng to the non...
متن کاملGravitational Collapse of Barotropic Spherical Fluids
The gravitational collapse of spherical, barotropic perfect fluids is analyzed here. For the first time, the final state of these systems is characterized without resorting to simplifying assumptions such as self-similarity using a new approach based on non-linear o.d.e. techniques. Formation of naked singularities is shown to occur for solutions such that the mass function is sufficiently regu...
