Overcharging a black hole and cosmic censorship

VE Hubeny - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We show that, contrary to a widespread belief, one can overcharge a near extremal
Reissner-Nordström black hole by throwing in a charged particle, as long as the back …

Weak cosmic censorship: as strong as ever

S Hod - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
Spacetime singularities that arise in gravitational collapse are always hidden inside of black
holes. This is the essence of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. The hypothesis, put …

Gedanken experiments to destroy a black hole by a test particle: Multiply charged black hole with higher derivative corrections

K Izumi, T Noumi, D Yoshida - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate a gedanken experiment to destroy an extremally charged black hole by
drop** a test particle, provided that there are multiple U (1) gauge fields coupled with …

Cosmic censorship in overcharging a Reissner-Nordström black hole<? format?> via charged particle absorption

S Isoyama, N Sago, T Tanaka - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
There is a claim that a static-charged black hole (Reissner-Nordström black hole) can be
overcharged by absorbing a charged test particle. If it is true, it might give a counter example …

Dyonic Kerr–Newman black holes, complex scalar field and cosmic censorship

I Semiz - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2011 - Springer
We construct a gedanken experiment, in which a weak wave packet of the complex massive
scalar field interacts with a four-parameter (mass, angular momentum, electric and magnetic …

Cosmic censorship, area theorem, and self-energy of particles

S Hod - Physical review D, 2002 - APS
The (zeroth-order) energy of a particle in the background of a black hole is given by Carter's
integrals. However, exact calculations of a particle's self-energy (first-order corrections) are …

Test of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture with a charged scalar field and dyonic Kerr–Newman black holes

GZ Tóth - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2012 - Springer
A thought experiment considered recently in the literature, in which it is investigated whether
a dyonic Kerr–Newman black hole can be destroyed by overcharging or overspinning it past …

Examining the weak cosmic censorship conjecture of RN-AdS black holes via the new version of the gedanken experiment

XY Wang, J Jiang - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Based on the new version of the gedanken experiment proposed by Sorce and Wald, we
investigate the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) for Reissner-Nordström-AdS …

Gedanken experiments at high-order approximation: nearly extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes cannot be overcharged

XY Wang, J Jiang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract The new version of the gedanken experiment proposed by Sorce and Wald has
been used to examine the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) for black holes at …

Weak cosmic censorship, dyonic Kerr–Newman black holes and Dirac fields

GZ Tóth - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
It was investigated recently, with the aim of testing the weak cosmic censorship conjecture,
whether an extremal Kerr black hole can be converted into a naked singularity by interaction …
