We review the status of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, which asserts, in essence, that all singularities of gravitational collapse are hidden within black holes. Although little progress has been made toward a general proof (or disproof) of this conjecture, there has been some notable recent progress in the study of some examples and special cases related to the conjecture. These results support the view that naked singularities cannot arise generically.

  1. Sharpened Dynamical Cobordism

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Sharpened Dynamical Cobordism ties the allowed range of critical exponent δ to theory structure ξ, flagging obstructions from non-trivial cobordism charges that require new degrees of freedom.

  2. Spherically symmetric solutions in quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    In quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity, static spherically symmetric Frobenius solutions are classified: regular cores only, Schwarzschild-like horizons and wormhole throats, plus asymptotic 1/r^6 corrections to Schwarzschild.

  3. Regular hairy black holes by gravitational decoupling: Bardeen and Minkowski-core seeds

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Two families of regular hairy black holes are generated from Bardeen and Minkowski-core seeds using gravitational decoupling with an exponential profile, yielding de Sitter or flat cores, critical horizon parameters, ...

  4. Regular hairy black holes by gravitational decoupling: Bardeen and Minkowski-core seeds

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Two families of regular hairy black holes are built from Bardeen and hollow seeds by gravitational decoupling with exponential deformation, including critical deformation strengths and Kerr-like rotating extensions.

  5. Superradiance -- the 2020 Edition

    gr-qc 2015-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Black-hole superradiance extracts energy via the ergoregion and can trigger instabilities with applications to dark matter, beyond-Standard-Model physics, and laboratory analogs.

  6. Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report

    gr-qc 2019-04 accept novelty 2.0

    Current and future observations can test whether dark compact objects are Kerr black holes or exotic alternatives, with null results strengthening the black hole paradigm.
