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

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Spontaneous genesis of naked singularities through quantum-gravitational processes: conclusive evidence for violation of cosmic censorship

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An extreme string-theory black hole is claimed to radiate a finite Hawking power while ceasing to discharge, so a single emitted photon overcharges it and spontaneously creates a naked singularity.

  3. Quantum Information Bound on the Energy

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Quantum Penrose Inequality is conjectured, replacing trapped-surface area with lightsheet generalized entropy, and is tested against a semiclassical counterexample.

  4. Static charged dilaton black hole cannot be overcharged by gedanken experiments

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using second-order perturbation inequalities from the Iyer-Wald formalism, the authors prove that a static charged dilaton black hole cannot be overcharged, so weak cosmic censorship is not violated in this process.

  5. Test fields cannot destroy extremal de Sitter black holes

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Kerr-Newman-de Sitter spacetimes, the energy of test fields should be computed with the Killing field ∂t + (a/l^2)∂φ, and with this definition test fields cannot overcharge or overspin extremal black holes.

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

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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, ...

  7. Regular Spacetimes in the Effective Metric Description

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Within the Effective Metric Description, the paper derives regularity conditions at the origin and horizons, a necessary geodesic-completeness condition, and a classification of regular cores.

  8. Ghost-induced phase transition in the final stages of black hole evaporation

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A quantum ghost instability is claimed to send evaporating Schwarzschild black holes to stable naked singularities, merging the information paradox with the singularity problem.

  9. Superradiance -- the 2020 Edition

    gr-qc 2015-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

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

  10. Critical Phenomena in Gravitational Collapse

    gr-qc 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    An authoritative review of critical collapse, updated with results on nonspherical vacuum collapse and rigorous PDE blowup.
