It is known that the standard Schwarzschild interior metric is conformally flat and generates a constant density sphere in any spacetime dimension in Einstein and Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet gravity. This motivates the questions: In EGB does…

The initial state of the spherical gravitational collapse in general relativity has been studied with different methods, especially by using {\it a priori} given equations of state that describe the matter as a perfect fluid. We propose an…
