Self-force as a cosmic censor in the Kerr overspinning problem
Marta Colleoni, Leor Barack, Abhay G. Shah +1
It is known that a near-extremal Kerr black hole can be spun up beyond its extremal limit by capturing a test particle. Here we show that overspinning is always averted once back-r…

Overspinning a Kerr black hole: the effect of self-force
Marta Colleoni, Leor Barack
We study the scenario in which a massive particle is thrown into a rapidly rotating Kerr black hole in an attempt to spin it up beyond its extremal limit, challenging weak cosmic c…
