We analyze the problem of gravitational collapse considering the matching of an exterior region described by the Vaidya's metric and an interior region described by a spherically symmetric shear-free inhomogeneous geometry sourced by a…
In this work we study the Schwarzschild metric in the context of canonical quantum gravity inside the horizon, close of horizon and near the black hole singularity. Using this standard quantization procedure, we show that the horizon is…

Using the effective equations in our Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) -- inspired models, we resolve the $(n + 2)$ dimensional black hole singularity. This resolution in the four dimensional case is same as that given recently by Ashtekar,…
The loop quantization of the Schwarzschild interior region, as described by a homogeneous anisotropic Kantowski-Sachs model, is re-examined. As several studies of different -inequivalent- loop quantizations have shown, to date there exists…
Loop quantum cosmology is a symmetry-reduced application of loop quantum gravity that has led to the resolution of classical singularities such as the big bang, and those at the center of black holes. This can be seen through numerical…
A paradigm deeply rooted in modern numerical relativity calculations prescribes the removal of those regions of the computational domain where a physical singularity may develop. We here challenge this paradigm by performing…

A new final state of gravitational collapse is proposed. By extending the concept of Bose-Einstein condensation to gravitational systems, a cold, dark, compact object with an interior de Sitter condensate $p_{_V} = -\rho_{_V}$ and an…
Most general relativity textbooks devote considerable space to the simplest example of a black hole containing a singularity, the Schwarzschild geometry. However only a few discuss the dynamical process of gravitational collapse, by which…
We study the fate of a collapsing star on the brane in a generalized braneworld gravity with bulk matter. Specifically, we investigate for the possibility of having a static exterior for a collapsing star in the radiative bulk scenario.…
In singularity generating spacetimes both the out-going and in-going expansions of null geodesic congruences $\theta ^{+}$ and $\theta ^{-}$ should become increasingly negative without bound, inside the horizon. This behavior leads to…

We describe a class of exactly soluble models for gravitational collapse in spherical symmetry obtained by patching dynamical spherically symmetric exterior spacetimes with cosmological interior spacetimes. These are generalizations of the…
We study the homogeneous gravitational collapse of a spherical cloud of matter in a super-renormalizable and asymptotically free theory of gravity. We find a picture that differs substantially from the classical scenario. The central…
Using the Sparling form and a geometric construction adapted to spacetimes with a 2-dimensional isometry group, we analyse a quasi-local measure of gravitational energy. We then study the gravitational radiation through spacetime junctions…
In this dissertation we study two well known gravitational scenarios in which singularities may appear; the final state of gravitational collapse and the late time evolution of the universe. In the first scenario, we study a spherically…
