In the parity-even gravity theory, we perform the $s$-mode stability analysis by using the BTZ black string perturbations, which gives two Schr\\\"odinger equations with frequency-dependent potentials. The $s$-mode stability is consistent with the generalized Breitenlohner-Freedman bound for spin-2 field. It seems that for the parity-odd massive gravity theory, the BTZ black hole is stable when the imaginary part of quasinormal frequencies of massive graviton is positive. However, this condition is not consistent with the $s$-mode stability based on the second-order equation obtained after squaring the first-order equation. Finally we explore the black hole stability connection between the parity-odd and parity-even massive gravity theories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-09-18T01:58:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "04.70.Bw" ], "keywords": [ "btz black hole", "massive graviton", "mode stability", "black hole stability connection", "dimensions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "General Relativity and Gravitation", "year": 2013, "month": "Dec", "volume": 45, "number": 12, "pages": 2493 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1225259, "adsabs": "2013GReGr..45.2493M" } } }
