The study of gravitational collapse model in higher dimensional space-time

TL;DR

This paper explores the gravitational collapse of inhomogeneous dust in higher-dimensional space-time, revealing that naked singularities can form as the final outcome and are gravitationally strong according to Tipler.

Contribution

It demonstrates the formation of naked singularities in higher dimensions during dust collapse, extending previous models to higher-dimensional space-times.

Findings

Naked singularities develop as end states in higher-dimensional collapse.

Naked singularities are gravitationally strong in the sense of Tipler.

Collapse outcomes depend on the initial conditions of the dust cloud.

Abstract

We investigate the end state of the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud in higher dimensional space-time. The naked singularities are shown to be developing as the final outcome of non-marginally bound collapse. The naked singularities are found to be gravitationally strong in the sense of Tipler .
