Spacetime Singularities Arising in a Gravitational Collapse

The study of the gravitational collapse of massive objects to form black holes has a long and fascinating history. The purpose of this book is to present a study on naked singularities arising in different dimensional gravitational collapse and its implication to cosmic censorship hypothesis for the university students and researchers who are pursuing this line of research. This book provides the study of gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric and non-spherically symmetric space-times and examine whether it ends into a black hole or a naked singularity.
