In the last three to four decades, various programs have been studied in order to investigate the final fate of gravitational collapse of massive astronomical objects. In the theoretical context, Black Holes (BHs) are the consequence of final stage of the gravitational collapse. In this work, we investigated the gravitational collapse process of a spherically symmetric star constituted of dark matter (DM), [Formula: see text], and Dark Energy (DE), [Formula: see text] in the context of the brane-world scenario. In our model, we discussed the anisotropy of the pressure in a fluid with Equation of State (EoS) [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We briefly discussed various cases of gravitational collapse and it is found that BH can be formed by the gravitational collapse in brane-world regime while in some cases there is only a naked singularity at their end state.

It is fair to say that our current mathematical understanding of the dynamics of gravitational collapse to a black hole is limited to the spherically symmetric situation and, in fact, even in this case much remains to be learned. The reason is that Einstein's equations become tractable only if they are reduced to a (1 + 1)-dimensional system of partial differential equations. Owing to this technical obstacle, very little is known about the collapse of pure gravitational waves because by Birkhoff's theorem there is no spherical collapse in vacuum. In this essay, we describe a new cohomogeneity-two symmetry reduction of the vacuum Einstein equations in five and higher odd dimensions which evades Birkhoff's theorem and admits time-dependent asymptotically flat solutions. We argue that this model provides an attractive (1 + 1)-dimensional geometric setting for investigating the dynamics of gravitational collapse in vacuum.

Here we investigate the genericity and stability aspects for naked singularities and black holes that arise as the final states for a complete gravitational collapse of a spherical massive matter cloud. The form of the matter considered is a general Type I matter field, which includes most of the physically reasonable matter fields such as dust, perfect fluids and such other physically interesting forms of matter widely used in gravitation theory. Here, we first study in some detail the effects of small pressure perturbations in an otherwise pressure-free collapse scenario, and examine how a collapse evolution that was going to the black hole endstate would be modified and go to a naked singularity, once small pressures are introduced in the initial data. This allows us to understand the distribution of black holes and naked singularities in the initial data space. Collapse is examined in terms of the evolutions allowed by Einstein equations, under suitable physical conditions and as evolving from a regular initial data. We then show that both black holes and naked singularities are generic outcomes of a complete collapse, when genericity is defined in a suitable sense in an appropriate space.

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 formulas for extrinsic curvature tensor are obtained. The general form of the surface energy–momentum tensor depending on extrinsic curvature tensor components is derived. This leads us to the surface energy density and the tangential pressure. The formalism is applied to two known spherically symmetric spacetimes. The results obtained show the regions for the collapse and expansion of the shell.

In this paper we consider the negative energy problem in generalized Vaidya spacetime. We consider several models where we have the naked singularity as a result of the gravitational collapse. In these models we investigate the geodesics for particles with negative energy when the II type of the matter field satisfies the equation of the state P=αρ (α∈[0,1]).

Abstract We investigate static and spherically symmetric solutions in a gravity theory that extends the standard Hilbert–Einstein action with a Lagrangian constructed from a three-form field $$A_{\alpha \beta \gamma }$$Aαβγ, which is related to the field strength and a potential term. The field equations are obtained explicitly for a static and spherically symmetric geometry in vacuum. For a vanishing three-form field potential the gravitational field equations can be solved exactly. For arbitrary potentials numerical approaches are adopted in studying the behavior of the metric functions and of the three-form field. To this effect, the field equations are reformulated in a dimensionless form and are solved numerically by introducing a suitable independent radial coordinate. We detect the formation of a black hole from the presence of a Killing horizon for the timelike Killing vector in the metric tensor components. Several models, corresponding to different functional forms of the three-field potential, namely, the Higgs and exponential type, are considered. In particular, naked singularity solutions are also obtained for the exponential potential case. Finally, the thermodynamic properties of these black hole solutions, such as the horizon temperature, specific heat, entropy and evaporation time due to the Hawking luminosity, are studied in detail.
