Non-marginally bound inhomogeneous dust collapse in higher dimensional space-time

Ghosh, S. G.Banerjee, A.2012-03-132012-03-132002-03-01http://hdl.handle.net/11007/1381We investigate the occurrence and nature of a naked singularity in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud described by a self-similar higher dimensional Tolman-Bondi space-time. Bound, marginally bound and unbound space-times are analyzed. The degree of inhomogeneity of the collapsing matter necessary to form a naked singularity is given.enDust collapseHigher dimensional space-timeNon-marginally bound inhomogeneous dust collapse in higher dimensional space-timeArticle
