The weak cosmic censorship hypothesis can be understood as a statement that there exists a global Cauchy evolution of a selfgravitating system outside an event horizon. The resulting Cauchy problem has a free null-like inner boundary. We…

We study the singularity created in the supercritical collapse of a spherical massless scalar field. We first model the geometry and the scalar field to be homogeneous, and find a generic solution (in terms of a formal series expansion)…
We investigate self-similar scalar field solutions to the Einstein equations in whole cylinder symmetry. Imposing self-similarity on the spacetime gives rise to a set of single variable functions describing the metric. Furthermore, it is…
We explore numerically the evolution of a collapsing spherical shell of charged, massless scalar field. We obtain an external \RN space-time, and an inner space-time that is bounded by a singularity on the Cauchy Horizon. We compare these…
Penrose's weak cosmic censorship conjecture asserts that spacetime singularities produced by gravitational collapse are generically hidden behind event horizons, thus preventing them from causally influencing distant observers and…
