Update on Cosmic Censorship Violation in AdS

TL;DR

This paper revisits a proposed counterexample to cosmic censorship in AdS space, identifies a gap in the previous argument, and concludes that the question of violation remains unresolved.

Contribution

It critically reexamines a prior counterexample to cosmic censorship in AdS, highlighting a gap and discussing potential ways to address it.

Findings

Identified a gap in the previous counterexample construction

The question of cosmic censorship violation in AdS remains open

Proposed possible methods to close the identified gap

Abstract

We reexamine our proposed counterexample (gr-qc/0307102) to cosmic censorship in anti de Sitter (AdS) space, and find a gap in the construction. We mention some possible ways to close the gap, but at present the question of whether cosmic censorship is violated in AdS remains open.
