Second order variations and the overspinning problem in Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime
arXiv:2507.10122 · doi:10.1103/6rjn-h51c
Abstract
Previously, we attempted to over-spin Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes with test fields satisfying the null energy condition. We derived that a non-generic over-spinning could be achieved with strict restrictions on the test field modes and the initial space-time parameters. Here, we incorporate the effect of the second order variations by evaluating the Sorce-Wald condition for Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes. We calculate the second variation of the area for the sub-collection of Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes for which over-spinning is possible due to first order perturbations. We carry out an analysis to second order, avoiding the common order of magnitude problems where the second order variations appear in the form of a product with the square of an additional small parameter. We derive that the contribution of the second order variations fix the final state of the space-time parameters driving the Kerr-Taub-NUT black hole away from extremality. The event horizon is preserved in accord with the cosmic censorship conjecture and the laws of black hole dynamics.
