Singular manifolds, topology change and the dynamics of compactification

We investigate the dynamics of the geometric transitions associated to compactified spacetimes. By including the dynamics of gravity we are able to follow the evolution of collapsing cycles as they attempt to undergo a topology changing transition. Rather than achieving this singular geometry we fin...
