We construct an exact solution for the spherical gravitational collapse in a single coordinate patch. To describe the dynamics of collapse, we use a generalized form of the Painlev\'e-Gullstrand coordinates in the Schwarzschild spacetime. The time coordinate of the form is the proper time of a free-falling observer so that we can describe the collapsing star not only outside but also inside the event horizon in a single coordinate patch. We show the both solutions corresponding to the gravitational collapse from infinity and from a finite radius.

  1. Dust collapse and bounce in spherically symmetric quantum-inspired gravity models

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Algebraic equations from Hamiltonian constraints on vacuum spherically symmetric metrics describe non-homogeneous dust collapse and bounce, applied to quantum-inspired models to recover or find new bounce results.
