Naked Singularities for the Einstein Vacuum Equations: The Interior Solution

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

In a previous work [I. Rodnianski and Y. Shlapentokh-Rothman, Naked Singularities for the Einstein Vacuum Equations: The Exterior Solution, arXiv:1912.08478] we constructed solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations in 3+1 dimensions which corresponded to the exterior region of a naked singularity. In this work we construct solutions which correspond to the interior region and show that the two solutions may be glued together to produce a naked singularity. Fundamental to our construction is the novel type of self-similarity for the Einstein vacuum equations that we introduced in our previous work and also the study of a new class of quasilinear PDE's of mixed degenerate elliptic-hyperbolic type.
