Contribution

It identifies a critical coupling value influencing phase transition types and uncovers the emergence of flat spacetime and multiple Kasner epochs beyond the horizon.

Findings

Critical coupling determines phase transition type.

Flat spacetime appears at specific temperatures.

Numerical analysis shows multiple Kasner epochs.

Abstract

We study the planar anti-de Sitter black hole in the p-wave holographic superconductor model. We identify a critical coupling value which determines the type of phase transition. Beyond the horizon, at specific temperatures flat spacetime emerges. Numerical analysis close to these temperatures demonstrates the appearance of a large number of alternating Kasner epochs.
