Abstract
In our study, we delved into the profound ramifications of string tension on the collapse of a string fluid, culminating in the formation of a black hole within the realm of f(R) gravity. A string fluid is a perfect fluid model, each whose particle admits a radially stretched string. The outer region for the collapsing object is assumed to be the Schwarzschild spacetime, while the fluid collapses in the internal region are supposed to be Friedman–Robertson–Walker spacetime. The junction conditions are developed leading to gravitational mass and energy. The time frame for apparent horizon and singularity formation was estimated, showing a black hole as the outcome. String tension emerged as a pivotal factor in prolonging horizon creation. Our findings illuminate the relation among f(R) gravity, string tension, and collapse dynamics, enriching our understanding of cosmic phenomena.
