Collapse and expansion of scalar thin-shell for a class of black holes

Abstract

This paper investigates the dynamics of thin-shell in the presence of perfect fluid as well as scalar field. We formulate the equations of motion using Israel thin-shell formalism by taking the interior and exterior regions of Schwarzschild, Kerr as well as Kerr–Newmann black hole. We find numerical solutions of equations of motion and effective potential to analyze the scalar shell for collapse and expansion. It is found that the rate of collapse and expansion of scalar shell through shell’s radius depend on charge and rotation parameters. We conclude that the massive scalar shell leads to collapse of thin-shell, while massless scalar shell indicates both collapse as well as expansion.
