Gravitational collapse to higher dimensional topological black holes

We summarize recent results about the study of higher dimensional gravitational collapse to topological black holes. In particular, we considered models with interiors given by classes of 5-dimensional collapsing solutions built on Riemannian Bianchi IX spatial metrics and we proved local existence...

Description
Summary:We summarize recent results about the study of higher dimensional gravitational collapse to topological black holes. In particular, we considered models with interiors given by classes of 5-dimensional collapsing solutions built on Riemannian Bianchi IX spatial metrics and we proved local existence and uniqueness of radiating exteriors given by the Bizon-Chmaj-Schmidt metric.
