We investigate higher-dimensional spherically symmetric anisotropic collapsing solutions of the field equations. Our aim is to check the effects of higher dimensions on the density and pressures profile of the collapsing fluid. It has been observed that the energy density, radial and tangential pressures of the collapsing system are strongly affected by higher dimensions. It also comes out that the anisotropy of the collapsing system becomes constant in higher dimensions.

Thick domain walls with nonvanishing stress component in the direction perpendicular to the plain of the wall are considered. Their exact solutions are obtained in the background of a five-dimensional spacetime. There may be both expanding and collapsing walls. The energy density decreases on both sides of the walls and the spacetime in all cases is found to be reflection symmetric with respect to the walls.

We study the intriguing analogy between gravitational dynamics of the horizon and thermodynamics for the case of nonstationary radiating spherically symmetric black holes both in four dimensions and higher dimensions. By defining all kinematical parameters of nonstationary radiating black holes in terms of null vectors, we demonstrate that it is possible to interpret the Einstein field equations near the apparent horizon in the form of a thermodynamical identity T dS = dE+P dV.

We review the non-Abelian tensor gauge field theory and analyze its free field equations for lower rank gauge fields when the interaction coupling constant tends to zero. The free field equations are written in terms of the first-order derivatives of extended field strength tensors similar to the electrodynamics and non-Abelian gauge theories. We determine the particle content of the free field equations and count the propagating modes which they describe. In four-dimensional spacetime the rank-2 gauge field describes propagating modes of helicity two and zero. We show that the rank-3 gauge field describes propagating modes of helicity-three and a doublet of helicity-one gauge bosons. Only four-dimensional spacetime is physically acceptable, because in five- and higher-dimensional spacetime the equation has solutions with negative norm states. We discuss the structure of the particle spectrum for higher rank gauge fields.

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.

We present the generalization of a known theorem to generate static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions in higher-dimensional Lovelock gravity. Particular limits such as Gauss–Bonnet (GB) and Einstein–Hilbert (EH) in any dimension N yield all the solutions known to date with an energy–momentum. In our generalization, with special emphasis on third order Lovelock gravity, we have found two different class of solutions characterized by the matter field parameter. Several particular cases are studied and properties related to asymptotic behaviors are discussed. Our general solution, which covers topological black holes as well, splits naturally into distinct classes such as Chern–Simon (CS) and Born–Infeld (BI) in higher-dimensions. The occurence of naked singularities is studied and it is found that the space–time behaves nonsingularly in the quantum-mechanical sense when it is probed with quantum test particles. The theorem is extended to cover Bertotti–Robinson (BR) type solutions in the presence of the GB parameter alone. Finally, we prove also that extension of the theorem for a scalar–tensor source of higher dimensions (N > 4) fails to work.

We analyze here the spherically symmetric collapse of a charged null fluid in a higher dimensional spacetime. Both naked singularities and black holes are shown to be developing as final outcome of the collapse. A relationship between weak energy condition and occurrence of strong curvature singularity is pointed out.

We investigate the possibility of extending nonextreme black hole solutions made of intersecting M-branes to those with two nonextreme deformation parameters, similar to Reissner–Nordstrøm solutions. General analysis of possible solutions is carried out to reduce the problem of solving field equations to a simple algebraic one for static spherically-symmetric case in D dimensions. The results are used to show that the extension to two-parameter solutions is possible for D= 4,5 dimensions but not for higher dimensions, and that the area of horizon always vanishes in the extreme limit for black hole solutions for D≥6 except for two very special cases which are identified. Various solutions are also summarized.

In this paper, our aim is to study (n + 2)-dimensional collapse of perfect fluid spherically symmetric spacetime in the context of f(R, T) gravity. The matching conditions are acquired by considering a spherically symmetric non-static (n + 2)-dimensional metric in the inner region and Schwarzschild (n + 2)-dimensional metric in the outer region of the star. To solve the field equations for above settings in f(R, T) gravity, we choose the stress–energy tensor trace and the Ricci scalar as constants. It is observed that two physical horizons, namely, cosmological and black hole horizons appear as a consequence of this collapse. A singularity is also formed after the birth of both the horizons. It is also observed that the term f(R0, T0) slows down the collapsing process.

We extend an algorithm of Deng in spherically symmetric spacetimes to higher dimensions. We show that it is possible to integrate the generalised condition of pressure isotropy and generate exact solutions to the Einstein field equations for a shear-free cosmological model with heat flow in higher dimensions. Three new metrics are identified which contain results of four dimensions as special cases. We show graphically that the matter variables are well behaved and the speed of sound is causal.

Vacuum solutions are obtained in higher-dimensional spherically symmetric space–time with Brans–Dicke theory. Solutions are obtained assuming the metric coefficients to be in separable product form.
