Besides the singularity problem, the famous Oppenheimer and Snyder solution is discovered to be of deficiency in two aspects: the internal Friedmann space-time does not have the inherent symmetry and cannot connect to the external…
We establish an exact bidirectional map between interior Friedmann density of a collapsing star and exterior static spherically symmetric metric in generalized Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse. This reduces Einstein's differential…
We present semi-analytical solutions to the background equations describing the Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) metric as well as the homogeneous Friedmann equations, in the presence of dust, curvature and a cosmological constant Lambda. For…
The gravitational collapse of a star is a warmly discussed but still puzzling problem, which not only involves the dynamics of the gases, but also the subtle coordinate transformation. In this letter, we give some more detailed…
We classify all spherically symmetric dust solutions of Einstein's equations which are self-similar in the sense that all dimensionless variables depend only upon $z\equiv r/t$. We show that the equations can be reduced to a special case of…
It is shown that the interior solution of axially symmetric, stationary and rigidly rotating dust configurations is completely determined by the mass density along the axis of rotation. The particularly interesting case of a mass density,…
A static axisymmetric solution with an additional cylindrical symmetry is considered and that the matter consists in a cosmological and a dust term.

We match the vacuum, stationary, cylindrically symmetric solution of Einstein's field equations with $\Lambda$, in a form recently given by Santos, as an exterior to an infinite cylinder of dust cut out of a G\"{o}del universe. There are…
Quantum gravity suggests that the paradox recently put forward by Almheiri et. al. (AMPS) can be resolved if matter does not undergo continuous collapse to a singularity but condenses on the apparent horizon. One can then expect a…
Solutions of the stationary axisymmetric Einstein equations describing the interior of circularly rotating dust are investigated in order to study their potential applicability as galaxy models. It is shown that such interior solutions…

The gravitational collapse of a thick cylindrical shell of dust matter is investigated. It is found that a spacetime singularity forms on the symmetry axis and that it is necessarily naked, i.e., observable in principle. We propose a…
