  • Gravitational collapse with tachyon field and barotropic fluid
    Publication . Tavakoli, Yaser; Marto, João; Ziaie, Amir Hadi; Moniz, Paulo
    A particular class of space-time, with a tachyon field, ϕ, and a barotropic fluid constituting the matter content, is considered herein as a model for gravitational collapse. For simplicity, the tachyon potential is assumed to be of inverse square form i.e., V(ϕ)∼ϕ^(−2). Our purpose, by making use of the specific kinematical features of the tachyon, which are rather different from a standard scalar field, is to establish the several types of asymptotic behavior that our matter content induces. Employing a dynamical system analysis, complemented by a thorough numerical study, we find classical solutions corresponding to a naked singularity or a black hole formation. In particular, there is a subset where the fluid and tachyon participate in an interesting tracking behaviour, depending sensitively on the initial conditions for the energy densities of the tachyon field and barotropic fluid. Two other classes of solutions are present, corresponding respectively, to either a tachyon or a barotropic fluid regime. Which of these emerges as dominant, will depend on the choice of the barotropic parameter, γ. Furthermore, these collapsing scenarios both have as final state the formation of a black hole.
  • Semiclassical collapse with tachyon field and barotropic fluid
    Publication . Tavakoli, Yaser; Marto, João; Ziaie, Amir Hadi; Moniz, Paulo
    The purpose of this paper is to extend the analysis presented in Goswami et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 031302 (2006)] by means of investigating how a specific type of loop (quantum) effect can alter the outcome of gravitational collapse. To be more concrete, a particular class of spherically symmetric spacetime is considered with a tachyon field ϕ and a barotropic fluid constituting the matter content; the tachyon potential V(ϕ) is assumed to be of the form ϕ^(−2). Within inverse triad corrections, we then obtain, for a semiclassical description, several classes of analytical as well as numerical solutions. Moreover, we identify a subset whose behavior corresponds to an outward flux of energy, thus avoiding either a naked singularity or a black hole formation.
  • Gravitational Collapse of a Homogeneous Scalar Field in Deformed Phase Space
    Publication . Rasouli, Seyed Meraj Mousavi; Ziaie, Amir Hadi; Marto, João; Moniz, Paulo
    We study the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity, in the presence of a particular type of dynamical deformation between the canonical momenta of the scale factor and of the scalar field. In the absence of such a deformation, a class of solutions can be found in the literature [R. Goswami and P. S. Joshi, arXiv:gr-qc/0410144], %\cite{JG04}, whereby a curvature singularity occurs at the collapse end state, which can be either hidden behind a horizon or be visible to external observers. However, when the phase-space is deformed, as implemented herein this paper, we find that the singularity may be either removed or instead, attained faster. More precisely, for negative values of the deformation parameter, we identify the emergence of a negative pressure term, which slows down the collapse so that the singularity is replaced with a bounce. In this respect, the formation of a dynamical horizon can be avoided depending on the suitable choice of the boundary surface of the star. Whereas for positive values, the pressure that originates from the deformation effects assists the collapse toward the singularity formation. In this case, since the collapse speed is unbounded, the condition on the horizon formation is always satisfied and furthermore the dynamical horizon develops earlier than when the phase-space deformations are absent. These results are obtained by means of a thoroughly numerical discussion.
  • Loop quantum effect and the fate of tachyon field collapse
    Publication . Tavakoli, Yaser; Moniz, Paulo; Marto, João; Ziaie, Amir Hadi
    We study the fate of gravitational collapse of a tachyon field matter. In presence of an inverse square potential a black hole forms. Loop quantum corrections lead to the avoidance of classical singularities, which is followed by an outward flux of energy.
