Contribution
It provides a summarized review of the mechanisms leading to black hole and naked singularity formation in gravitational collapse, emphasizing the role of trapped surfaces.
Findings
Black holes and naked singularities arise naturally in spherical collapse.
The geometry of trapped surfaces governs the end state of collapse.
Recent developments clarify the conditions leading to different collapse outcomes.
Abstract
Recent developments on the final state of a gravitationally collapsing massive matter cloud are summarized and reviewed here. After a brief background on the problem, we point out how the black hole and naked singularity end states arise naturally in spherical collapse. We see that it is the geometry of trapped surfaces that governs this phenomena.
