On naked singularities in higher dimensional Vaidya space-times

Abstract

We investigate the end state of gravitational collapse of null fluid in higher di- mensional space-times. Both naked singularities and black holes are shown to be developing as final outcome of the collapse. The naked singularity spectrum in col- lapsing Vaidya region (4D) gets covered with increase in dimensions and hence higher dimensions favor black hole in comparison to naked singularity. The Cosmic Censor- ship Conjecture will be fully respected for a space of infinite dimension.
