| Gravitational Collapse End States (2004) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Recent developments on the final state of a gravitationally collapsing massive matter cloud are summarized and reviewed here. After a brief background on the problem, we point out how the black hole and naked singularity end states arise naturally in spherical collapse. We see that it is the geometry of trapped surfaces that governs this phenomena. | |||||||||||||
