We examine the problem of overcharging extremal and near-extremal black hole solutions of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in any dimension, generalizing the result in general relativity. We show that as in the case of general relativity, it is not possible to create a naked singularity by overcharging an extremal black hole in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity using a charged test particle. Our result suggests that the validity of the cosmic censorship hypothesis transcends beyond general relativity to well motivated higher curvature gravity.

  1. Weak Cosmic Censorship Conjecture in Gedanken Experiments at All Orders

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At every perturbation order, black hole gedanken experiments preserve cosmic censorship whenever the thermodynamic quantity W is positive.

    gr-qc 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    An Iyer-Wald first law is established for general perturbations of Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes, and a second-order Sorce-Wald argument shows that near-extremal such black holes cannot be overcharged under...
