In this paper, we study spherical gravitational collapse of inhomogeneous pressureless matter in a well-defined $n \rightarrow4$d limit of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The collapse leads to either a black hole or a massive naked…
The problem of constructing naked singularities in general relativity can be naturally divided into two parts: (i) the construction of the region exterior to the past light cone of the singularity, extending all the way to (an incomplete)…
We study the stability of an asymptotically flat, static, spherically symmetric naked singularity spacetime in the novel four dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity. The four dimensional EGB black hole for large enough values of…
We discuss the existence of maximum forces in 3+1 dimensional spacetimes and show that the existence of a mass-independent maximum force does not occur in general relativity in spaces of more than three dimensions. Instead, the maximum…
We provide a covariant framework to study singularity-free Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi spacetimes with effective corrections motivated by loop quantum gravity. We show that, as in general relativity, physically reasonable energy distributions…

LeMa\^\i tre-Tolman-Bondi models of spherical dust collapse have been used and continue to be used extensively to study various stellar collapse scenarios. It is by now well-known that these models lead to the formation of black holes and…

We investigate various dark energy models by taking into account the thermal effects induced from Hawking radiation on the apparent horizon of the Universe, for example near a finite-time future singularity. If the dark energy density…
Brane-world singularities are analysed, emphasizing the case of supergravity in singular spaces where the singularity puzzle is naturally resolved. These naked singularities are either time-like or null, corresponding to the finite or…
It is known now that a typical gravitational collapse in general relativity, evolving from regular initial data and under physically reasonable conditions would end in either a black hole or a naked singularity final state. An important…
We analyze solutions of Chamseddine's topological gravity in four space-time dimensions and discover various black hole solutions with(out) torsion as well as those that describe naked singularities. Because all of the solutions belong to…
In this work, we have investigated the outcome of gravitational collapse in Husain space-time in the presence of electro-magnetic and a scalar field with potential. In order to study the nature of the singularity, global behavior of radial…
We investigate the fate of the classical singularity in a collapsing dust cloud. For this purpose, we quantize the marginally bound Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi model for spherically-symmetric dust collapse by considering each dust shell in the…
We consider a gravastar model made of anisotropic dark energy with an infinitely thin spherical shell of a perfect fluid with the equation of state $p = (1-\gamma)\sigma$ with an external de Sitter-Schwarzschild region. It is found that in…
We study the process of gravitational collapse in pure Gauss-Bonnet gravity. In the homogeneous dust collapse, we show that the $D=7$ pure Gauss-Bonnet theory has gravitational dynamics indistinguishable from Einstein's theory in $D=4$,…
Motivated by the high energy focusing found in rapidly collapsing bubbles that is relevant to implosion processes that concentrate energy density, such as sonoluminescence, we consider a calculation of an empty cavity collapse in a…
Spacetime singularities pose a long-standing puzzle in quantum gravity. Unlike Schwarzschild, a generic family of black holes gives rise to a Cauchy horizon on which, even in the Hartle-Hawking state, quantum observables such as $\langle…
Recently the energy emission from a naked singularity forming in spherical dust collapse has been investigated. This radiation is due to the particle creation in a curved spacetime. In this discussion, the central role is played by the…
