Abstract
We consider the end state of collapsing null radiation with a string fluid. It is shown that, if diffusive transport is assumed for the string, that a naked singularity can form (at least locally). The model has the advantage of not being asymptotically flat. We also analyse the case of a radiation-string two-fluid and show that a locally naked singularity can result in the collapse of such matter. We contrast this model with that of strange quark matter.
