We consider time-dependent solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations using anti-de Sitter (AdS) boundary conditions, and provide the first counterexample to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in four spacetime dimensions. Our counterexample is entirely formulated in the Poincar\'e patch of AdS. We claim that our results have important consequences for quantum gravity, most notably to the weak gravity conjecture.

  1. Weak Cosmic Censorship with spinning particles in Kerr-(A)dS spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Extremal Kerr-de Sitter black holes cannot be overspun by spinning test particles, and apparent Kerr-anti-de Sitter overspinning configurations are eliminated once the particle's finite size is respected.

  2. Violating Weak Cosmic Censorship in AdS$_3$ via Gedanken Experiment

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Under the test-particle approximation, an extremal quantum-corrected BTZ black hole can have its horizon destroyed by a particle with large angular momentum, giving a potential counterexample to weak cosmic censorship.
