Charged null fluid collapse in anti-de Sitter spacetimes and naked singularities

TL;DR

This paper explores how charged null fluid collapse in anti-de Sitter spacetimes can lead to naked singularities, challenging certain cosmic censorship hypotheses through theoretical analysis.

Contribution

It provides a theoretical investigation into the formation of naked singularities during charged null fluid collapse in anti-de Sitter backgrounds, highlighting violations of the cosmic censorship conjecture.

Findings

Naked singularities are strong in Tipler's sense.

Collapse can violate the cosmic censorship conjecture.

Naked singularities do not violate the hoop conjecture.

Abstract

We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities in the spherically symmetric, plane symmetric and cylindrically symmetric collapse of charged null fluid in an anti-de 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.
