Overspinning a nearly extreme black hole and the Weak Cosmic Censorship conjecture

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2008-11-07 v2

Abstract

We revisit here the recent proposal for overspinning a nearly extreme black hole by means of a quantum tunneling process. We show that electrically neutral massless fermions evade possible back reactions effects related to superradiance, confirming the view that it would be indeed possible to form a naked singularity due to quantum effects.
