This paper is devoted to investigate the gravitational perfect fluid collapse in the framework of Chern-Simon modified gravity. For this purpose, we assume the spherically symmetric metric as an interior region and the Schwarzchild…
We present a family of exact solutions, depending on two parameters $\alpha$ and $b$ (related to the scalar field strength), to the three-dimensional Einstein-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant $\Lambda$. For $b=0$…
For the case of the single-O($N$)-vector linear sigma models the critical behaviour following from any $A_k$ singularity in the action is worked out in the double scaling limit $N \rightarrow \infty$, $f_r \rightarrow f_r^c$, $2 \leq r \leq…
We elaborated the gravitational collapse of a self-gravitating complex charged scalar field in the context of the low-energy limit of the string theory, the so-called dilaton gravity. We begin with the regular spacetime and follow the…
It is shown that a scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity may have collapsing modes even when the energy condition is violated, that is, for $(\rho+3p)<0$. This result may be useful in the investigation of the possible clustering of…
Recently, a holographic argument was used to relate the saturation exponent, $\gamma_{BFKL}$, of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory in the Regge limit to the Choptuik critical scaling exponent, $\gamma_{5d}$, in 5-dimensional black hole…

Gravitational collapse in (n+2) dimensional quasi-spherical space-time is studied for a fluid with non vanishing radial pressure. An exact analytic solution is obtained (ignoring the arbitrary integration function) for the equation of state…

We find the general solution of the Einstein equation for spherically symmetric collapse of Type II fluid (null strange quark fluid) in higher dimensions. It turns out that the nakedness and curvature strength of the shell focusing…
