Classical formulation of Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis

Spacetimes admitting appropriate spatial homothetic Killing vectors are called spatially homothetic spacetimes. Such spacetimes conform to the fact that gravity has no length-scale for matter inhomogeneities. The matter density for such spacetimes is (spatially) arbitrary and the matter generating the spacetime admits {\it any} equation of state. Spatially homothetic spacetimes necessarily possess energy-momentum fluxes. We first discuss spherically symmetric and axially symmetric examples of such spacetimes that do not form naked singularities for regular initial data. We then show that the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis is {\em equivalent} to the statement that gravity has no length-scale for matter properties.
