A note on the cylindrical collapse of counter-rotating dust

arXiv:gr-qc/0203077 · doi:10.1142/S0218271802002128

Abstract

We find analytical solutions describing the collapse of an infinitely long cylindrical shell of counter-rotating dust. We show that--for the classes of solutions discussed herein--from regular initial data a curvature singularity inevitably develops, and no apparent horizons form, thus in accord with the spirit of the hoop conjecture.
