Is Cosmic Censorship valid in Higher Dimensions

We study here the question if we can recover cosmic censorship by making a transition to higher dimensional spacetimes. It is pointed out that if only black holes are to result as end state of a continual gravitational collapse, several conditions must be imposed on the collapsing configuration, some of which would appear to be rather restrictive and we need to study carefully if these can be suitably motivated physically in a realistic collapse scenario. It would appear that in a generic higher dimensional collapse, both black holes and naked singularities would develop as end states of collapse.
