Gravitational collapse of homogeneous scalar fields

arXiv:gr-qc/0501013 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/22/11/023

Abstract

Conditions under which gravity coupled to self interacting scalar field determines singularity formation are found and discussed. It is shown that, under a suitable matching with an external space, the boundary, if collapses completely, may give rise to a naked singularity. Issues related to the strength of the singularity are discussed.
