Abstract

We apply the new version of a gedanken experiment designed recently by Sorce and Wald to overspin the five-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes. As a result, the extremal black holes cannot be overspun at the linear order. On the other hand, although the nearly extremal black holes could be overspun at the linear order, this process is shown to be prohibited by the quadratic order correction. Thus, no violation of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture occurs around the five-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes.
