Charged cylindrical collapse in f(𝒢) gravity

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the gravitational collapse of charged cylindrical star in [Formula: see text] gravity. For this purpose, we derive dynamical equations by applying Misner–Sharp formalism and examine the effects of effective pressure and charge on the collapse rate. We also construct a relationship between matter variables, Gauss–Bonnet (GB) terms, and the Weyl tensor. For the constant value of [Formula: see text], it is found that spacetime is conformally flat if and only if the energy density is homogeneous. We conclude that the rate of collapse slows down in [Formula: see text] gravity due to anti-gravitational effects.
