Dynamical instability in the collapse of anisotropic matter

Abstract

The authors study the role played by local anisotropy in the onset of dynamical instabilities in self-gravitating systems. They determine that small anisotropies in the unperturbed system can drastically change its stability. Some speculations and prospective applications to astrophysical scenarios are suggested.
