A robust proof of the instability of naked singularities of a scalar field in spherical symmetry
Jue Liu, Junbin Li
Published in 1999, Christodoulou proved that the naked singularities of a self-gravitating scalar field are not stable in spherical symmetry and therefore the cosmic censorship con…

Instability of spherical naked singularities of a scalar field under gravitational perturbations
Junbin Li, Jue Liu
In this paper, we initiate the study of the instability of naked singularities without symmetries. In a series of papers, Christodoulou proved that naked singularities are not stab…
