Thermodynamics and gravitational collapse

Malafarina, D.; Joshi, Pankaj S. (2011-06-19)

It is known now that a typical gravitational collapse in general relativity, evolving from regular initial data and under physically reasonable conditions would end in either a black hole or a naked singularity final state. ...
Thermodynamics and the naked singularity in the Gamma-metric

Lochan, K.; Malafarina, D.; Singh, T.P. (2010-09-23)

We investigate a possible way of establishing a parallel between the third law of black hole mechanics, and the strong version of the third law of thermodynamics. We calculate the surface gravity and area for a naked ...
