THE EFFECT OF PRESSURE IN HIGHER DIMENSIONAL QUASI-SPHERICAL GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE

摘要

We study gravitational collapse in higher dimensional quasi-spherical Szekeres space–time for matter with anisotropic pressure. Both local and global visibility of central curvature singularity has been studied and it is found that with proper choice of initial data it is possible to show the validity of Cosmic Censorship Conjecture for six and higher dimensions. Also the role of pressure in the collapsing process has been discussed.
