On the Hoop conjecture and the weak cosmic censorship conjecture for the axisymmetric Einstein-Vlasov system
E. Ames, H. Andréasson, O. Rinne
We consider gravitational collapse for the axially symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system. We investigate the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the case of highly prolate initial data…
A Distorted Black Ring
Shohreh Abdolrahimi, Robert B. Mann, Christos Tzounis
We investigate how a static and neutral distribution of external matter distorts a 5-dimensional static black ring. We obtain a general expression for the distorted metric in terms…
Planck's uncertainty principle and the saturation of Lorentz boosts by Planckian black holes
A. Aurilia, E. spallucci
A basic inconsistency arises when the Theory of Special Relativity meets with quantum phenomena at the Planck scale. Specifically, the Planck length is Lorentz invariant and should…
Normal Coordinates Describing Coupled Oscillations in the Gravitational Field
Walter J. Christensen
The motion of a local source inducing small oscillations in the gravitational field is investigated and shown to exhibit pure rotational kinetic energy. Should the net affect of th…
Classical and Quantum Shell Dynamics, and Vacuum Decay
S. Ansoldi, A. Aurilia, R. Balbinot +1
Following a minisuperspace approach to the dynamics of a spherically symmetric shell, a reduced Lagrangian for the radial degree of freedom is derived directly from the Einstein-Hi…
