Abstract
It has been established that Christodoulou’s formulation of Strong Cosmic Censorship (SCC) is violated by Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black holes, but holds in four-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter black holes. We show that SCC is also respected by equal angular momenta (cohomogeneity-1) Myers-Perry-de Sitter (MP-dS) in odd d ≥ 5 spacetime dimensions. This suggests that the preservation of SCC in rotating backgrounds might be a universal property of Einstein gravity and not limited to the d = 4 Kerr-dS background. As required to discuss SCC in de Sitter spacetimes, we also study important aspects of the scalar field quasinormal mode (QNM) spectra of MP-dS. In particular, we find eigenvalue repulsions similar to those recently observed in the QNM spectra of asymptotically flat Kerr-Newman black holes. For axisymmetric modes (i.e. with azimuthal quantum number m = 0) there are three distinct families of QNM (de Sitter, photon sphere and near-horizon). However, typically, for non-axisymmetric (m ≠ 0) QNMs, we find that the entire spectra can be described by just two families of QNM (since several overtone sections of the photon sphere and near-horizon families merge). For completeness, we also study the full scalar field QNM spectra of higher-dimensional Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes.
