We investigate gravitational collapse in the context of quantum mechanics. We take primary interest in the behavior of the collapse near the horizon and near the origin (classical singularity) from the point of view of an infalling…
In this note a time dependent spacetime is explored in the background of $f(R,T)$ gravity via the gravitational collapse of a massive star. The star is modelled by the Vaidya spacetime which is time dependent in nature. The coupling of…
Observational indications combined with analyses of analogue and emergent gravity in condensed matter systems support the possibility that there might be two distinct energy scales related to quantum gravity: the scale that sets the onset…
We consider the back reaction of the energy due to quantum fluctuation of the background fields considering the trace anomaly for Schwarzschild black hole. It is shown that it will result in modification of the horizon and also formation of…
We study the quantum motion of null shells in the quantum space-time of a black hole in loop quantum gravity. We treat the shells as test fields and use an effective dynamics for the propagation equations. The shells propagate through the…
We provide a quantization of the Schwarzschild spacetime in the presence of a cosmological constant, based on midisuperspace methods developed in the spherically symmetric sector of loop quantum gravity, using in particular the 'improved…
We study the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field within the effective scenario of loop quantum gravity. Classical singularity is avoided and replaced by a quantum bounce in this model. It is shown that, quantum gravity effects…
We examine the growth of the Weyl curvature in two examples of naked singularity formation in spherical gravitational collapse - dust and the Vaidya spacetime. We find that the Weyl scalar diverges along outgoing radial null geodesics as…
The origin of negative pressure fluid (the dark energy) is investigated in the quantum model of the homogeneous, isotropic and closed universe filled with a uniform scalar field and a perfect fluid which defines a reference frame. The…
We calculate the quantum stress tensor for a massless scalar field in the 2-d self-similar spherical dust collapse model which admits a naked singularity. We find that the outgoing radiation flux diverges on the Cauchy horizon. This may…
Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations where classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e. the fact that the backward evolution…
Recent studies have shown that quantum gravity introduces important corrections to the process of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse expected from general relativity. In particular, instead of falling into a central singularity,…
We incorporate some corrections inspired by loop quantum gravity into the concept of gravitational collapse and propose a complete model of the dynamic process. The model carries the essence of a mass-independent upper bound on the…
Two spatial regions $B$ and $R$ are hyperentangled if the generalized entropy satisfies $S_{\text{gen}}^{B\cup R}<S_{\text{gen}}^R$. If in addition all future (or all past) directed inward null shape deformations of $B$ decrease…
We study null and timelike constant radii geodesics in the environment of an over-spinning putative Kerr-type naked singularity. We are particularly interested in two topics: first, the differences of the shadows of the naked rotating…
We study stability of occurrence of black holes and naked singularities that arise as a final state for a complete gravitational collapse of type I matter field in a spherically symmetric $N$ dimensional spacetime with equation of state $p…
Schwarzschild black holes are expected to emerge as the end states of the classical gravitational collapse from non-singular configurations. After integrable curvature singularities appear, the interior geometry can be modelled to exhibit a…
We investigate collapse of a spherical cloud of counter-rotating particles. An explicit solution is given using an elliptic integral. If the specific angular momentum $L(r)=O(r^2)$ at $r\to 0$, no central singularity occurs. With $L(r)$…
A U(1) gauge theory turns, on physically motivated models of Quantum Spacetime, into a U($\infty$) gauge theory, hence free classical electrodynamics is no longer free and neutral fields may have electromagnetic interactions. We discuss the…
The singularity structure of charged spherical collapse is studied by considering the evolution of the gravity-scalar field system. A detailed examination of the geometry at late times strongly suggests the validity of the mass-inflation…
