We study this system numerically and find that for various choices of initial data black holes form rather than naked singularities, implying that in these cases cosmic censorship is upheld.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-04-28T22:53:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "string theory", "numerical study", "initial data black holes form", "anti-de sitter spacetime", "cases cosmic censorship" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2004, "month": "Apr", "volume": 2004, "number": 4, "pages": "024" }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 644556, "adsabs": "2004JHEP...04..024G" } } }
