Naked singularities in self-similar gravitational collapse: Stability properties of the Cauchy horizon
The background of this thesis is the cosmic censorship hypothesis, which states that the gravitational collapse of physically reasonable matter should not result in the formation of naked singularities. In the absence of a proof of this hypothesis, much effort has been directed towards examining …

Gravitational waves: understanding black holes
… to the predictions of general relativity and the cosmic censorship hypothesis. It is expected that the gravitational field should be well described by the famous Kerr solution. Two approaches for testing this hypothesis are considered; one using X-ray observations and one using gravitational …

Caustics in gravitational theories
… to both the strong and weak versions of the cosmic censorship hypothesis. In fact, Yodzis and collaborators prove that an event horizon is generated to the future of the initial singularity, so that these types of singularity are naked. If, however, a solution to the field equations …

Numerical Construction of Gravitational Solutions in Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Spacetimes
… has been important in the context of the weak cosmic censorship hypothesis. In order to study this relationship, we constructed novel four-dimensional asymptotically global AdS solutions by turning on a dipolar differential rotation at the conformal boundary. At fixed energy and boundary …
