Naked Singularities in Dust Collapse as an Existence Problem for O.d.e. at a Singular Point
نویسنده
چکیده
The final state of the gravitational collapse of a marginally bound dust cloud is formulated in terms of an existence problem for the non-linear differential equation governing radial null geodesics near the singular point. Rigorous results are proved, covering the complete spectrum of the possible initial data.

New Solutions of Einstein Equations in Spherical Symmetry: the Cosmic Censor to the Court
A new class of solutions of the Einstein field equations in spherical symmetry is found. The new solutions are mathematically described as the metrics admitting separation of variables in area-radius coordinates. Physically, they describe the gravitational collapse of a class of anisotropic elastic materials. Standard requirements of physical acceptability are satisfied, in particular, existenc...
متن کاملNaked Singularities Formation in the Gravitational 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 studied without resorting to simplifying assumptions such as self-similarity using a new approach based on non-linear o.d.e. techniques, and formation of naked singularities is shown to occur for solutions such that the mass function is analytic in a neigh...
متن کاملSome comments on the nature of initial data in spherical collapse
Various authors have shown the occurence of naked singularities and black holes in the spherical gravitational collapse of inhomogeneous dust. In a recent preprint, Antia has criticised a statement in a paper by Jhingan, Joshi and Singh on dust collapse. We show that his criticism is invalid. Antia shows that in Eulerian coordinates a series expansion for the density of a collapsing Newtonian f...
متن کاملOn Timelike Naked Singularities associated with Noncompact Matter Sources
We show the existence of timelike naked singularities which are not hidden by a horizon and which are associated to spherically symmetric (noncompact) matter sources extending from r = 0 to r = ∞. Our asymptotically flat solutions do represent observable timelike naked singularities where the scalar curvature R and volume mass density ρ(r) are both singular at r = 0. To finalize we explain the ...
