We study the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity, in the presence of a particular type of dynamical deformation between the canonical momenta of the scale factor and of the scalar field. In the…

We study the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous time-dependent scalar field that, besides its coupling to curvature, it is also kinematically coupled to the Einstein tensor. This coupling is a part of the Horndeski theory and we…

We study here the unhindered gravitational collapse of spatially homogeneous (SH) scalar fields $\phi$ with a potential $V_{s}(\phi)$, as well as vector fields $\tilde{A}$ with a potential $V_{v}(B)$ where $B=g(\tilde{A},\tilde{A})$ and $g$…

Conditions under which gravity coupled to self interacting scalar field determines singularity formation are found and discussed. It is shown that, under a suitable matching with an external space, the boundary, if collapses completely, may…

We explore a collapsing cosmology driven by a scalar field which is minimally coupled to gravity in a spatially at and spherically symmetric, isotropic and homogeneous space-time, with a variable timescale that avoids the final singularity.…
