In the former case, we explore the quantum effects on various regions of relevance for a rotating black hole space-time. We find that the quantum effects lead to a growth of both the event horizon and the radius of the ergosphere, and to a reduction of the angular velocity, compared to the unperturbed values. Furthermore, they give rise to the formation of a curvature singularity at the Cauchy horizon and show no evidence of the appearance of a superradiant instability. In the case of a naked singularity, we find that quantum effects lead to the formation of a horizon that shields it, thus supporting evidence for the role of quantum mechanics as a cosmic censor in nature.", optnote="WOS:000397809100005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3026), last updated on Fri, 14 Apr 2017 23:10:33 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.131102", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1608.05366", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.131102", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1608.05366", language="English" }
