Popis: Abstract Strong cosmic censorship conjecture has been one of the most important leap of faith in the context of general relativity, providing assurance in the deterministic nature of the associated field equations. Though it holds well for asymptotically flat spacetimes, a potential failure of the strong cosmic censorship conjecture might arise for spacetimes inheriting Cauchy horizon along with a positive cosmological constant. We have explicitly demonstrated that violation of the censorship conjecture holds true in the presence of a Maxwell field even when higher spacetime dimensions are invoked. In particular, for a higher dimensional Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black hole the violation of cosmic censorship conjecture is at a larger scale compared to the four dimensional one, for certain choices of the cosmological constant. On the other hand, for a brane world black hole, the effect of extra dimension is to make the violation of cosmic censorship conjecture weaker. For rotating black holes, intriguingly, the cosmic censorship conjecture is always respected even in presence of higher dimensions. A similar scenario is also observed for a rotating black hole on the brane.
