Generalized strong curvature singularities and weak cosmic censorship in cosmological space-times

TL;DR

This paper advances the understanding of weak cosmic censorship by relaxing assumptions on spacetime structure, providing constraints on strong curvature naked singularities in realistic cosmological models.

Contribution

It presents a modified theorem that imposes stronger constraints on naked singularities under less restrictive asymptotic conditions.

Findings

Constraints on the occurrence of strong curvature naked singularities.

Applicability to realistic cosmological models.

Relaxed assumptions on spacetime asymptotics.

Abstract

This paper is a further development of the approach to weak cosmic censorship proposed by the authors in Ref. 5. We state and prove a modified version of that work's main result under significantly relaxed assumptions on the asymptotic structure of space--time. The result, which imposes strong constraints on the occurrence of naked singularities of the strong curvature type, is in particular applicable to physically realistic cosmological models.
