Gravitational collapse of a spherical scalar field

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2024-05-09 v1

Abstract

Examining the relativistic collapse of a spherical spacetime where gravity is coupled with a scalar field, this review provides a thorough analysis of some of the most relevant studies from both analytical and numerical perspectives. The discussion includes achievements made in this field, with a focus on those related to cosmic censorship, as well as recent perspectives on the topic.
