Charged null fluid collapse in anti-de Sitter spacetimes and naked singularities - art. no. 127505

We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities in the spherically sym metric, plane symmetric, and cylindrically symmetric collapse of charged nu ll fluid in an anti-de Sitter background. The naked singularities are found to be strong in Tipler's sense and thus violate the cosmic censorship conj ecture, but not the hoop conjecture.
