Thermodynamics and gravitational collapse
Daniele Malafarina, Pankaj S. Joshi
It is known now that a typical gravitational collapse in general relativity, evolving from regular initial data and under physically reasonable conditions would end in either a bla…
Naked Singularities as Particle Accelerators II
Mandar Patil, Pankaj S. Joshi, Daniele Malafarina
We generalize here our earlier results on particle acceleration by naked singularities. We showed recently[1] that the naked singularities that form due to gravitational collapse o…
Instability of black hole formation in gravitational collapse
Pankaj S. Joshi, Daniele Malafarina
We consider here the classic scenario given by Oppenheimer, Snyder, and Datt, for the gravitational collapse of a massive matter cloud, and examine its stability under the introduc…
Thermodynamics and the naked singularity in the Gamma-metric
K. Lochan, D. Malafarina, T. P. Singh
We investigate a possible way of establishing a parallel between the third law of black hole mechanics, and the strong version of the third law of thermodynamics. We calculate the…
