Collapsing Shells of Radiation in Higher Dimensional Spacetime and Cosmic Censorship Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Some interesting consequences of spacelike matter shells are presented, in particular the possibility of travelling through Cauchy horizons and violating the strong cosmic censorship hypothesis. These show that the weak energy condition does not guarentee cosmic censorship.

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...

We investigate the formation of a locally naked singularity in the collapse of radiation shells in an expanding Vaidya-deSitter background. This is achieved by considering the behaviour of non-spacelike and radial geodesics originating at the singularity. A specific condition is determined for the existence of radially outgoing, null geodesics originating at the singularity which, when this con...
متن کاملCollapsing Shells and the Isoperimetric Inequality for Black Holes
Recent results of Trudinger on Isoperimetric Inequalities for non-convex bodies are applied to the gravitational collapse of a lightlike shell of matter to form a black hole. Using some integral identities for co-dimension two surfaces in Minkowski spacetime, the area A of the apparent horizon is shown to be bounded above in terms of the mass M by the 16πG 2 M 2 , which is consistent with the C...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Cosmic Censorship in String Theory
Recently Hertog, Horowitz, and Maeda have argued that cosmic censorship can be generically violated in string theory in anti-de Sitter spacetime by considering a collapsing bubble of a scalar field whose mass saturates the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. We study this system numerically, and find that black holes form rather than naked singularities, implying that cosmic censorship is upheld.
