Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of homogeneous gravitational collapse of a massless vector field in the presence of a positive cosmological constant Λ\Lambda. The corresponding density function ρ(a)\rho (a) obtained for the massless vector field is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the scale factor a(t)a (t). The variation of the scale factor shows that for 0Λ<10\, \le\Lambda < 1, we obtain the gravitational collapse of the vector fields leading singularity formation in a {\it finite} comoving time resulting in a {\it Blackhole} such that with increasing Λ\Lambda, the singularity formation time, tst_s increases. For Λ=1\Lambda = 1, we obtain a(t)=0a(t) = 0, thus limiting the maximum value of Λ\Lambda, (w.r.t the initial density ρ0\rho_0) for which the system could collapse under gravity.
