Nature of singularities in gravitational collapse
We discuss several aspects of cosmic censorship hypothesis. There is evidence both in favor and against the hypothesis. On one hand one can prove that cosmic censorship holds in several special cases and on the other hand there is a number of special solutions of Einstein equations in which it is violated. One way to resolve cosmic censorship problem is to test it observationally. We point out ...
متن کاملGravitational collapse and naked singularities
Gravitational collapse is one of the most striking phenomena in gravitational physics. The cosmic censorship conjecture has provided strong motivation for researches in this field. In the absence of general proof for the censorship, many examples have been proposed, in which naked singularity is the outcome of gravitational collapse. Recent development has revealed that there are examples of na...
متن کاملGravitational collapse and spacetime singularities
The nature of gravitational collapse was the subject of debate and controversy for much of the last century. During the 1960’s and 1970’s our understanding of general relativity consolidated and culminated in our modern understanding of black holes and spacetime singularities. Since then, there has been significant advances in understanding the dynamics of gravitational collapse and the nature ...
متن کاملThe nature of gravitational singularities
The nature of gravitational singularities, long mysterious, has now become clear through a combination of mathematical and numerical analysis. As the singularity is approached, the time derivative terms in the field equations dominate, and the singularity behaves locally like a homogeneous oscillatory spacetime. email address: [email protected]
متن کاملNaked Singularities in Higher Dimensional Gravitational Collapse
Spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust collapse has been studied in higher dimensional spacetime and the factors responsible for the appearance of a naked singularity are analyzed in the region close to the centre for the marginally bound case. It is clearly demonstrated that in the former case naked singularities do not appear in the space-time having more than five dimension, which appears ...
