| contents | The weak cosmic censorship conjecture plays a foundational role in classical gravity by asserting that spacetime singularities are generically hidden behind event horizons. In this work, we explore its robustness in the Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar theory with fractional coupling by studying both static black hole solutions and their fully nonlinear dynamical evolution. We identify a class of scalarized black holes that develop negative energy density near the event horizon, indicating violations of the classical energy conditions. Numerical evolutions of perturbed configurations reveal that sufficiently strong fractional coupling drives rapid curvature growth and geometric degeneration in the near-horizon region, accompanied by persistent negative energy density. While the simulations do not resolve the ultimate end state, the observed dynamics consistently point toward a weakening of the horizon-supporting structure and are suggestive of incipient naked singularity formation. These results uncover a classical mechanism through which fractional coupling can challenge the validity of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in asymptotically flat spacetimes. |
