Investigations of strong cosmic censorship in 3-dimensional black strings

Investigating the quasinormal modes of a massive scalar field on the 3-dimensional black string (3dBS), we study the strong cosmic censorship (SCC) conjecture for the 3dBS in the T-dual relationship with the 3-dimensional rotating anti-de-Sitter (BTZ) black hole. It is shown that even though geometries of the two spacetimes are quite different, such as asymptotically AdS for the BTZ black hole and asymptotically flat for the 3dBS, the BTZ black hole and the 3dBS share similar properties for the SCC. Concretely speaking, the SCC conjecture can be violated even for asymptotically flat spacetime, i.e. the 3dBS. These observations lead us to an assumption that the T-dual transformation preserves spacetime symmetries, at least, which are relevant to the SCC. In addition, we find a new feature of the quasinormal mode at the Cauchy horizon: in the case of in the 3dBS, the spectral gap, αBS at the Cauchy horizon is not determined by the ‘ω-frequency mode’, but the ‘m-frequency mode’.
