We generalize the Oppenheimer-Snyder model of gravitational collapse by considering a broader class of static, spherically symmetric exterior spacetimes, with an interior geometry described by a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW)…

We study gravitational collapse of the axion/dilaton field in classical low energy string theory, at the threshold for black hole formation. A new critical solution is derived that is spherically symmetric and continuously self-similar. The…

We study the global structure of the exact two-dimensional space-time which emerges from string theory. Previous work has shown that in the semi-classical limit, this is a black hole similar to the Schwarzschild solution. However, we find…

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical formation and evolution of 2 + 1-dimensional charged black holes. We numerically study dynamical collapses of charged matter fields in an anti de Sitter background and note the formation of black…

The Hawking-Penrose singularity theorem states that a singularity forms inside a black hole in general relativity. To remove this singularity one must resort to a more fundamental theory. Using a corrected dynamical equation arising in loop…

The work is devoted to the construction of explicit embeddings for the metrics of the black holes, formed by nonsingular matter distribution. One of the possible examples of such type of solutions is regular black hole. Using the existing…

The complete spectrum of the endstates - naked singularities, or blackholes - of gravitational collapse is analyzed for a wide class of $N$-dimensional spacetimes in spherical symmetry, which includes and generalizes the dust solutions and…

We investigate the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous dust cloud in the Shtanov Sahni braneworld model, which incorporates an extra timelike dimension. The interior of the collapsing configuration is modeled by a Friedmann Lemaitre…

In the last four decades different programs have been carried out aiming at understanding the final fate of gravitational collapse of massive bodies once some prescriptions for the behaviour of gravity in the strong field regime are…

We investigate the dynamics of black hole critical collapse in the limit of a large number of spacetime dimensions, $D$. In particular, we study the spherical gravitational collapse of a massless, scale-invariant scalar field with…

We study the gravitational collapse of two thin shells of matter, in asymptotically flat spacetime or constrained to move within a spherical box. We show that this simple two-body system has surprisingly rich dynamics, which includes prompt…

We present two analytical models of gravitational collapse toward the Schwarzschild black hole, starting from the interior of the revisited Schwarzschild solution recently reported in [Phys. Rev. D 109, 104032 (2024)]. Both models satisfy…

The dynamics of a (super)particle near the horizon of an extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is shown to be governed by an action that reduces to a (super)conformal mechanics model in the limit of large black hole mass.

We discuss a number of long-standing theoretical questions about collapse to black holes in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation. Using a new numerical code, we show that Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse in this theory produces black holes that…

In this paper, we study the gravitational collapse of matter fields, which include dust, perfect fluids as well as fluids admitting bulk and shear viscosity. The initial conditions on these matter fields have been kept to be quite general:…
