Nakedness and curvature strength of shell-focusing singularity in the spherically symmetric space-time with vanishing radial pressure

Abstract

It was recently shown that the metric functions which describe a spherically symmetric space-time with vanishing radial pressure can be explicitly integrated. We investigate the nakedness and curvature strength of the shell-focusing singularity in that space-time. If the singularity is naked, the relation between the circumferential radius and the Misner-Sharp mass is given by $R\approx 2y_0{m}^{\beta }$ with $1/3<\beta \le 1$ along the first radial null geodesic from the singularity. The $\beta$ is closely related to the curvature strength of the naked singularity. For example, for the outgoing or ingoing null geodesic, if the strong curvature condition (SCC) by Tipler holds, then $\beta$ must be equal to 1. We define the ``gravity dominance condition'' (GDC) for a geodesic. If GDC is satisfied for the null geodesic, both SCC and the limiting focusing condition (LFC) by Królak hold for $\beta =1$ and $y_0\ne 1$, not SCC but only LFC holds for $1/2\le \beta <1$, and neither holds for $1/3<\beta <1/2$, for the null geodesic. On the other hand, if GDC is satisfied for the timelike geodesic $r=0$, both SCC and LFC are satisfied for the timelike geodesic, irrespective of the value of $\beta$. Several examples are also discussed.
