Phys. Rev. D 51, 5511–5516 (1995)Stability of black hole event horizonsReceived 17 August 1994; published in the issue dated 15 May 1995 In this work we study a gedanken experiment constructed in order to test the cosmic censorship hypothesis and the second law of black hole thermodynamics. Matter with a negative gravitating energy is imagined added to a near extremal U(1)-charged static black hole in Einstein-Maxwell theory. The dynamics of a similar process is studied and the thermodynamical properties of the resulting black hole structure are discussed. A new mechanism which stabilizes black hole event horizons is shown to operate in such processess. © 1995 The American Physical Society URL:
