Title: Higher dimensional radiation collapse and cosmic censorship
Abstract:We study the occurrence of naked singularities in the spherically symmetric collapse of radiation shells in a higher dimensional spacetime.

The necessary conditions for the formation of a naked singularity or a black hole are obtained. The naked singularities are found to be strong in the Tipler sense and thus violate the cosmic censorship conjecture.Read More
