Hoop conjecture in spherically symmetric spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
We give general sufficient conditions for the existence of trapped surfaces due to concentration of matter in spherically symmetric initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition. These results are novel in that they apply and are meaningful for arbitrary spacelike slices, that is, they do not require any auxiliary assumptions such as maximality, time symmetry, or special extrinsic foliations, and most importantly they can easily be generalized to the nonspherical case once an existence theory for a modified version of the Jang equation is developed. Moreover, our methods also yield positivity and monotonicity properties of the Misner-Sharp energy.

Charged Null Fluid Collapse in Anti-de Sitter Spacetimes and Naked Singularities
We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities in the spherically symmetric, plane symmetric and cylindrically symmetric collapse of charged null fluid in an antide Sitter background. The naked singularities are found to be strong in Tipler’s sense and thus violate the cosmic censorship conjecture, but not hoop conjecture.

متن کاملThe Spherical Symmetry of Static Stellar Systems in General Relativity
Abstract. A conjecture of many years standing in General Relativity is that static stellar models, under physically reasonable assumptions, must be spherically symmetric. Despite some real progress in the last eighteen years (Beig and Simon, Masood-ul-Alam) a proof of the conjecture, in its full generality, has remained elusive. We consider asymptotically flat, perfect fluid, static stellar spa...
متن کاملG R - Q C - 9 40 90 11 Lifetimes of spherically symmetric closed universes
It is proven that any spherically symmetric spacetime that possesses a compact Cauchy surface and that satis es the dominant-energy and non-negative-pressures conditions must have a nite lifetime in the sense that all timelike curves in such a spacetime must have a length no greater than 10max (2m), where m is the mass associated with the spheres of symmetry. This result gives a complete resolu...
متن کاملRecollapse of the Closed Tolman Spacetimes
The closed-universe recollapse conjecture is studied for the spherically symmetric spacetimes. It is proven that there exists an upper bound to the lengths of timelike curves in any Tolman spacetime that possesses S3 Cauchy surfaces and whose energy density is positive. Furthermore, an explicit bound is constructed from the initial data for such a spacetime. 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Jb, 98.80.Hw Typeset...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Gravitational Collapse
In this paper, we discuss gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric spacetimes. We derive a general formalism by taking two arbitrary spherically symmetric spacetimes with g00 = 1. Israel’s junction conditions are used to develop this formalism. The formulae for extrinsic curvature tensor are obtained. The general form of the surface energy-momentum tensor depending on extrinsic curvature...
