Abstract

Our aim is to study five-dimensional spherically symmetric anisotropic collapse with a positive cosmological constant (PCC). For this purpose, five-dimensional spherically symmetric and Schwarzschild–de Sitter metrics are chosen in the interior and exterior regions respectively. A set of junction conditions is derived for the smooth matching of interior and exterior spacetimes. The apparent horizon is calculated and its physical significance is studied. It comes out that the whole collapsing process is influenced by the cosmological constant. The collapsing process under the influence of cosmological constant slows down and black hole size also reduced.
