We apply the new version of gedanken experiment designed recently by Sorce and Wald, to over-spin the 5-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes. As a result, the extremal black holes cannot be over-spun at the linear order. On the other hand, although the nearly extremal black holes could be over-spun at the linear order, this process is shown to be prohibited by the quadratic order correction. Thus no violation of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture occurs around the 5-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes.

  1. Trapped Surface as a Cosmic Censor

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A trapped-surface criterion, derived under null convergence and generic conditions, rules out superextremal Reissner-Nordström, Kerr-Newman, and related final states in overcharging thought experiments without using a...

  2. Magnetic reconnection in five-dimensional Kerr black hole

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Magnetic reconnection enables higher energy extraction efficiency from singly-rotating five-dimensional Kerr black holes than from doubly-rotating ones and can exceed the Blandford-Znajek process in the single-rotation case.
