No-horizon theorem for spacetimes with spacelike G1 isometry groups
We consider four-dimensional spacetimes which obey the
Einstein equations , and admit a global spacelike
isometry group. By means of dimensional reduction and local
analyis on the reduced (2+1) spacetime, we obtain a sufficient condition on
which guarantees that cannot contain apparent
horizons. Given any (3+1) spacetime with spacelike translational isometry, the
no-horizon condition can be readily tested without the need for dimensional
reduction. This provides thus a useful and encompassing apparent horizon test
for -symmetric spacetimes. We argue that this adds further evidence
towards the validity of the hoop conjecture, and signals possible violations of
strong cosmic censorship.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, uses IOP package; published in Class. Quantum Gra

Different faces of the phantom
The SNe type Ia data admit that the Universe today may be dominated by some
exotic matter with negative pressure violating all energy conditions. Such
exotic matter is called {\it phantom matter} due to the anomalies connected
with violation of the energy conditions. If a phantom matter dominates the
matter content of the universe, it can develop a singularity in a finite future
proper time. Here we show that, under certain conditions, the evolution of
perturbations of this matter may lead to avoidance of this future singularity
(the Big Rip). At the same time, we show that local concentrations of a phantom
field may form, among other regular configurations, black holes with
asymptotically flat static regions, separated by an event horizon from an
expanding, singularity-free, asymptotically de Sitter universe.Comment: 6 pages, presented at IRGAC 2006, Barcelona, 11-15 July 200
Strong curvature singularities in quasispherical asymptotically de Sitter dust collapse
We study the occurrence, visibility, and curvature strength of singularities
in dust-containing Szekeres spacetimes (which possess no Killing vectors) with
a positive cosmological constant. We find that such singularities can be
locally naked, Tipler strong, and develop from a non-zero-measure set of
regular initial data. When examined along timelike geodesics, the singularity's
curvature strength is found to be independent of the initial data.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, uses IOP package, 2 eps figures; accepted for

Absence of trapped surfaces and singularities in cylindrical collapse
The gravitational collapse of an infinite cylindrical thin shell of generic
matter in an otherwise empty spacetime is considered. We show that geometries
admitting two hypersurface orthogonal Killing vectors cannot contain trapped
surfaces in the vacuum portion of spacetime causally available to geodesic
timelike observers. At asymptotic future null infinity, however, congruences of
outgoing radial null geodesics become marginally trapped, due to convergence
induced by shear caused by the interaction of a transverse wave component with
the geodesics. The matter shell itself is shown to be always free of trapped
surfaces, for this class of geometries. Finally, two simplified matter models
are analytically examined. For one model, the weak energy condition is shown to
be a necessary condition for collapse to halt; for the second case, it is a
sufficient condition for collapse to be able to halt.Comment: 26 pages, revtex4, 1 eps figure; matches version to appear in Phys.

New mathematical framework for spherical gravitational collapse
A theorem, giving necessary and sufficient condition for naked singularity
formation in spherically symmetric non static spacetimes under hypotheses of
physical acceptability, is formulated and proved. The theorem relates existence
of singular null geodesics to existence of regular curves which are
super-solutions of the radial null geodesic equation, and allows us to treat
all the known examples of naked singularities from a unified viewpoint. New
examples are also found using this approach, and perspectives are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX2
