Testing Cosmic Censorship in Kerr-like Collapse Situations | | W. Rudnicki
; | | Date: |
3 Oct 1997 | | Journal: | Mod.Phys.Lett. A12 (1997) 2237-2242 | | Subject: | gr-qc | | Abstract: | 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. | | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/9710022 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
