چکیده

We consider the gravitational collapse of a dust cloud in an asymptotically anti de Sitter spacetime in which points connected by a discrete subgroup of an isometry subgroup of anti de Sitter spacetime are identified. We find that black holes with event horizons of any topology can form from the collapse of such a cloud. The quasilocal mass parameter of such black holes is proportional to the initial density, which can be arbitrarily small.

Formation of Higher-dimensional Topological Black Holes

We study higher dimensional gravitational collapse to topological black holes in two steps. Firstly, we construct some (n + 2)-dimensional collapsing space-times, which include generalised Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi-like solutions, and we prove that these can be matched to static Λ-vacuum exterior space-times. We then investigate the global properties of the matched solutions which, besides black ho...

Gravitational Collapse, Black Holes and Naked Singularities

This article gives an elementary review of gravitational collapse and the cosmic censorship hypothesis. Known models of collapse resulting in the formation of black holes and naked singularities are summarized. These models, when taken together, suggest that the censorship hypothesis may not hold in classical general relativity. The nature of the quantum processes that take place near a naked s...

The Formation of Supermassive Black Holes and the Evolution of Supermassive Stars

The existence of supermassive black holes is supported by a growing body of observations. Supermassive black holes and their formation events are likely candidates for detection by proposed long-wavelength, space-based gravitational wave interferometers like LISA. However, the nature of the progenitors of supermassive black holes is rather uncertain. Supermassive black hole formation scenarios ...

Gravitational Collapse of Perfect Fluid

The spherical gravitational collapse of a compact packet consisting of perfect fluid is studied. The spacetime outside the fluid packet is described by the out-going Vaidya radiation fluid. It is found that when the collapse has continuous self-similarity the formation of black holes always starts with zero mass, and when the collapse has no self-similarity, the formation of black holes always ...

Supermassive Stars as Gamma-Ray Bursters

We propose that the gravitational collapse of supermassive stars (M ∼> 5× 10 M⊙) could be a cosmological source of γ-ray bursts. Supermassive stars could form as an intermediate step in the collapse of relativistic star clusters, or in supermassive clouds with inefficient cooling. Supermassive stars would be de-stabilized by the Feynman-Chandrasekhar instability and could collapse to black hole...
