The Nature of Central Singularity in Spherical Dust Collapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine here the nature of the central singularity forming in the spherically symmetric collapse of a dust cloud and it is shown that this is always a strong curvature singularity where gravitational tidal forces diverge powerfully. An important consequence is that the nature of the naked singularity forming in the dust collapse turns out to be stable against the perturbations in the initial data from which the collapse commences.

Physical nature of the central singularity in spherical collapse
We examine here the nature of the central singularity forming in the spherically symmetric collapse of a dust cloud and it is shown that this is always a strong curvature singularity where gravitational tidal forces diverge powerfully. An important consequence is that the nature of the naked singularity forming in the dust collapse turns out to be stable against the perturbations in the initial...
متن کاملQuasi-Spherical Gravitational Collapse in higher dimension and the effect of equation of state
Gravitational collapse in (n+2) dimensional quasi-spherical space-time is studied for a fluid with non vanishing radial pressure. An exact analytic solution is obtained (ignoring the arbitrary integration function) for the equation of state pr = (γ − 1)ρ. The singularity is studied locally by comparing the time of formation of apparent horizon and the central shell focusing singularity while th...
متن کاملNull Geodesic Expansion in Spherical Gravitational Collapse
We derive an expression for the expansion of outgoing null geodesics in spherical dust collapse and compute the limiting value of the expansion in the approach to singularity formation. An analogous expression is derived for the spherical collapse of a general form of matter. We argue on the basis of these results that the covered as well as the naked singularity solutions arising in spherical ...
متن کاملNaked singularities in Tolman–Bondi–de Sitter collapse
We study the formation of central naked singularities in spherical dust collapse with a cosmological constant. We find that the central curvature singularity is locally naked, Tipler strong, and generic, in the sense that it forms from a non-zero-measure set of regular initial data. We also find that the Weyl and Ricci curvature scalars diverge at the singularity, with the former dominating ove...
متن کاملQuasi-Spherical Gravitational Collapse in Any Dimension
We study the occurrence and nature of naked singularities for a dust model with non-zero cosmological constant in (n + 2)-dimensional Szekeres space-times (which possess no Killing vectors) for n ≥ 2. We find that central shell-focusing singularities may be locally naked in higher dimensions but depend sensitively on the choice of initial data. In fact, the nature of the initial density determi...
