In a previous work we obtained exact solutions for the proper time quantum mechanics of a thin dust shell, collapsing in a vacuum. We extend these results to the quantum collapse of a dust shell surrounding a pre-existing black hole. In…
Spherical collapse of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) dark matter model is studied in the Thomas Fermi approximation. The evolution of the overdensity of the collapsed region and its expansion rate are calculated for two scenarios. We…
A class of spherical collapsing exact solutions with electromagnetic charge is derived. This class of solutions -- in general anisotropic -- contains however as a particular case the charged dust model already known in literature. Under…
We investigate spherically symmetric self-similar solutions in Brans-Dicke theory. Assuming a perfect fluid with the equation of state $p=(\gamma-1)\mu (1 \le \gamma<2)$, we show that there are no non-trivial solutions which approach…
In the present study we search for a new class of wormhole solutions in the framework of Brans-Dicke (BD) theory in the presence of anisotropic matter distribution. Considering a linear equation of state (EoS) between radial pressure and…
We study the evolution of an anisotropic shear-free fluid with heat flux and kinematic self-similarity of the second kind. We found a class of solution to the Einstein field equations by assuming that the part of the tangential pressure…
We investigate here the final state of gravitational collapse of a non-spherical and non-marginally bound dust cloud as modeled by the Szekeres spacetime. We show that a directionally globally naked singularity can be formed in this case…
Quantum gravity effects are likely to play a crucial role in determining the outcome of gravitational collapse during its final stages. In this contribution we will outline a canonical quantization of the LeMaitre-Tolman-Bondi models, which…
We investigate the spherically-symmetric gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in the framework of a type-II minimally modified gravity theory called VCDM. This theory propagates only two local physical degrees of freedom…
We examine the role of the initial density and velocity distribution in the gravitational collapse of a spherical inhomogeneous dust cloud. Such a collapse is described by the Tolman-Bondi metric which has two free functions: the…
The perfect fluid cosmology in the 1+d+D dimensional Kaluza-Klein spacetimes for an arbitrary barotropic equation of state $p= n \rho$ is quantized by using the Schutz's variational formalism. We make efforts in the mathematics to solve the…
We investigate the thermodynamics and phase structure of the deformed AdS-Schwarzschild black hole, generated via the gravitational decoupling (GD) method. In the bulk canonical ensemble, our results exhibit a van der Waals-type first-order…
Starting from the Oppenheimer-Snyder model, we know how in classical general relativity the gravitational collapse of matter form a black hole with a central spacetime singularity. It is widely believed that the singularity must be removed…
We consider here the question if it is possible to recover cosmic censorship when a transition is made to higher dimensional spacetimes, by studying the spherically symmetric dust collapse in an arbitrary higher spacetime dimension. It is…
The dynamics of collapsing and expanding cylindrically symmetric gravitational and matter fields with lightlike wave-fronts is studied in General Relativity, using the Barrabes-Israel method. As an application of the general formulae…
We investigate a general class of $d$-dimensional regular black holes characterized by a de Sitter core, which arises from the gravitational collapse of a polytropic star with an arbitrary polytropic index $n$. This framework generalizes…
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 both the classical and quantum gravitational collapse of a charged, non-rotating $n$-dimensional BTZ black hole in AdS space. This is done by first deriving the conserved mass of a "spherically" symmetric domain wall, which…
We show that Brans-Dicke (BD) theory in 5D may explain the present cosmic accelerated expansion without recurring to matter fields in 5D or dark energy in 4D. Without making any assumption on the nature of the extra coordinate or the matter…
Brans-Dicke (BD) cosmology is reconsidered from an approach in which the model can be formulated in $\Lambda$CDM form, but at the expense of replacing the rigid cosmological constant $\Lambda$ with a dynamical quasivacuum component which…
