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 {\it self-energy} (first-order corrections) are still beyond our present reach in many situations. In this paper we use Hawking's area theorem in order to derive bounds on the self-energy of a particle in the vicinity of a black hole. Furthermore, we show that self-energy corrections {\it must} be taken into account in order to guarantee the…

Self-force as a cosmic censor
We examine Hubeny’s scenario according to which a near-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole can absorb a charged particle and be driven toward an over-extremal state in which the charge exceeds the…
Weak cosmic censorship conjecture in Kerr black holes of modified gravity
By neglecting the effects of self-force and radiation, we investigate the possibility of destroying the Kerr-MOG black hole through the point particle absorption process. Using the instability of…
Overcharging a multi-black-hole system and cosmic censorship
We study the generalization of the gadenken experiment of overcharging an extremal black hole proposed by Wald in the context of a multi black hole solution. In particular, we attempt to overcharge a…

We analyze a gedanken experiment in which a spinning particle that also possesses an extrinsic orbital angular momentum is captured by a spinning Kerr black hole. The gravitational spin-orbit…

Destroying charged black holes in higher dimensions with test particles
A possible way to destroy the Tangherlini Reissner–Nordstrom black hole is discussed in the spirit of Wald’s gedanken experiment. By neglecting radiation and self force effects, the absorbing…

Destroying a Near-Extremal Kerr-Newman-AdS Black Hole with Test Particles
If radiative and self-force effects are neglected, we find that feeding a test particle into a near-extremal Kerr-Newman-AdS black hole could lead to destroy their event horizon, giving rise to naked…
Cosmic Censorship Conjecture violation: A semiclassical approach
The Cosmic Censorship Conjecture (CCC) states that every singularity (except the cosmological one) must appear "dressed" in the universe. This statement was introduced by Roger Penrose (Penrose,…
No evidence for violation of the second law in extended black hole thermodynamics
Recently a number of papers have claimed that the horizon area - and thus the entropy - of near extremal black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetimes can be reduced by dropping particles into them. In…
