abstract

The Vaidya solution describes the gravitational collapse of a finite shell of incoherent radiation falling into flat spacetime and giving rise to a Schwarzschild black hole. There has been a question whether closed trapped surfaces can extend into the flat region (whereas closed outer trapped surfaces certainly can). For the special case of self-similar collapse we show that the answer is yes, if and only if the mass function rises fast enough.

Regular Vaidya solutions of effective gravitational theories

gr-qc · 2025-06-17 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Regular Vaidya solutions exist in effective gravitational theories that dynamically describe radiation-driven formation of regular black holes or mimickers without curvature singularities.

Convex foliations and trapped submanifolds

gr-qc · 2026-06-09 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Tests in symmetrically collapsing spacetimes and the full sub-extreme Kerr-Newman family support the conjecture that compact trapped submanifolds of codimension >1 stay inside black holes and do not reach the domain of outer communications.
