We investigate the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of an incoherent dust cloud by considering a LTB-type spacetime in third-order Lovelock Gravity without cosmological constant, and give three families of LTB-like solutions which separately corresponding to hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic. Notice that the contribution of high-order curvature corrections have a profound influence on the nature of the singularity, and the global structure of spacetime changes drastically from the analogous general relativistic case. Interestingly, the presence of high order Lovelock terms leads to the formation of massive, naked and timelike singularities in the 7D spacetime, which is disallowed in general relativity. Moveover, we point out that the naked singularities in the 7D case may be gravitational weak therefore may not be a serious threat to the cosmic censorship hypothesis, while the naked singularities in the D ≥ 8 inhomogeneous collapse violate the cosmic censorship hypothesis seriously.


Regular static axisymmetric vacuum solutions of Einstein’s field equations representing the exterior field of a finite thin disc are found. These are used to describe the slow collapse of a disc-like object. If no conditions are placed on the matter, a naked singularity is formed and the cosmic censorship hypothesis would be violated. Imposition of the weak energy condition, however, prevents slow collapse to a singularity and preserves the validity of this hypothesis. The validity of the hoop conjecture is also discussed.

We generalize the earlier studies on the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in four-dimensional space–time to higher dimensions. It is found that the central singularities may be naked in higher dimensions but depend sensitively on the choices of the parameters. These naked singularities are found to be gravitationally strong that violate the cosmic censorship hypothesis.

In the standard picture of gravitational collapse to a black hole, a key role is played by the hypothesis of cosmic censorship – according to which no naked space-time singularities can result from any collapse. A precise definition of a naked singularity is given here which leads to a strong ‘local’ version of the cosmic censorship hypothesis. This is equivalent to the proposition that a Cauchy hypersurface exits for the space-time. The principle that the surface area of a black hole can never decrease with time is presented in a new and simplified form which generalizes the earlier statements. A discussion of the relevance of recent work to the naked singularity problem is also given.

According to the cosmic censorship hypothesis of Penrose, naked singularities should never occur in realistic collapse situations. One of the major open problems in this context is the existence of a naked singularity in the Kerr solution with |a|>m; this singularity can be interpreted as the final product of collapse of a rapidly rotating object. Assuming that certain very general and physically reasonable conditions hold, we show here, using the global techniques, that a realistic gravitational collapse of any rotating object, which develops from a regular initial state, cannot lead to the formation of a final state resembling the Kerr solution with a naked singularity. This result supports the validity of the cosmic censorship hypothesis.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the gravitational collapse in the k-essence emergent gravity using a generalized Vaidya-type metric as a background. We also analyze the cosmic censorship hypothesis for this system. We show that the emergent gravity metric resembles closely to the new type of the generalized Vaidya metrics for null fluid collapse with the k-essence emergent mass function, where we consider the k-essence scalar field being a function solely of the advanced or the retarded time. This new type of k-essence emergent Vaidya metric has satisfied the required energy conditions. The existence of the locally naked central singularity, the strength and the strongness of the singularities for the k-essence emergent Vaidya metric are the interesting outcomes of the present work.

We study the final outcome of gravitational collapse resulting from the plane symmetric charged Vaidya spacetime. Using the field equations, we show that the weak energy condition is always satisfied by collapsing fluid. It is found that the singularity formed is naked. The strength of singularity is also investigated by using Nolan's method. This turns out to be a strong curvature singularity in Tipler's sense and hence provides a counter example to the cosmic censorship hypothesis.

The singularity theorems of general relativity predict that gravitational collapse finally ends up in a spacetime singularity1. The cosmic censorship hypothesis (CCH) states that such a singularity is covered by an event horizon2. Despite much effort, there is no rigorous formulation or proof of the CCH. In view of this, examples that appear to violate the CCH and lead to naked singularities, in which non-spacelike curves can emerge, rather than black holes, are important to shed more light on the issue. We have studied several collapse scenarios which can lead to both situations3. In the case of the Vaidya-de Sitter spacetime4, we have shown that the naked singularities that arise are of the strong curvature type. Both types of singularities can also arise in higher dimensional Vaidya and Tolman-Bondi spacetimes, but black holes are favoured in some sense by the higher dimensions. The charged Vaidya-de Sitter spacetime also exhibits both types of singularities5.
