Quasi-stationary collapse scenarios support cosmic censorship — •Reinhard Meinel — University of Jena, Germany

The quasi-stationary (parametric) collapse of a uniformly rotating disc of dust leads to the formation of a black hole and not to a naked singularity. This rigorous result represents a considerable support for the cosmic censorship conjecture - going far beyond the spherically symmetric case. Numerical results on rotating fluid rings and rotating discs of electrically charged dust provide further convincing evidence for this scenario.
