Gravitationally Collapsing Dust in Dimensions
S. F. Ross, R. B. Mann
We investigate the circumstances under which gravitationally collapsing dust can form a black hole in three-dimensional spacetime.
Conservation Laws and 2D Black Holes in Dilaton Gravity
R. B. Mann
A very general class of Lagrangians which couple scalar fields to gravitation and matter in two spacetime dimensions is investigated. It is shown that a vector field exists along w…
Gravitation \& Cosmology in -dimensional Dilaton Gravity
R. B. Mann, S. F. Ross
The properties of a string-inspired two-dimensional theory of gravity are studied. The post-Newtonian and weak-field approximations, `stellar' structure and cosmological solutions…
Matching Conditions and Gravitational Collapse in Two-Dimensional Gravity
R. B. Mann, S. F. Ross
The general theory of matching conditions is developed for gravitational theories in two spacetime dimensions. Models inspired from general relativity and from string theory are co…
