Gravitational collapse of homogeneous scalar fields
Roberto Giamb\'o
TL;DR
This paper investigates how gravity interacting with homogeneous scalar fields can lead to singularities, including naked singularities, and discusses the conditions and strength of these singularities.
Contribution
It identifies specific conditions under which scalar field collapse results in singularities and explores the possibility of naked singularities with external space matching.
Findings
Complete collapse can produce naked singularities.
Conditions for singularity formation are characterized.
The strength of the singularities is analyzed.
Abstract
Conditions under which gravity coupled to self interacting scalar field determines singularity formation are found and discussed. It is shown that, under a suitable matching with an external space, the boundary, if collapses completely, may give rise to a naked singularity. Issues related to the strength of the singularity are discussed.
