Near Extremal Kerr Entropy from AdS2 Quantum Gravity

چکیده
We analyze the asymptotic symmetries of near extremal Kerr black holes in four dimensions using the AdS2/CFT1 correspondence. We find a Virasoro algebra with central charge cR = 12J that is independent from the Virasoro algebra (with the same central charge) that acts on the degenerate ground state. The energy of the excitations is computed as well, and we can use Cardy’s formula to determine the near extremal entropy. Our result is consistent with the Bekenstein-Hawking area law for near extremal Kerr black holes. 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected]

Near Extremal Black Hole Entropy as Entanglement Entropy via AdS2/CFT1
We point out that the entropy of (near) extremal black holes can be interpreted as the entanglement entropy of dual conformal quantum mechanics via AdS2/CFT1. As an explicit example, we study near extremal BTZ black holes and derive this claim from AdS3/CFT2. We also analytically compute the entanglement entropy in the two dimensional CFT of a free Dirac fermion compactified on a circle at fini...
متن کاملThe Kerr/CFT correspondence and its extensions
We present a first-principles derivation of the main results of the Kerr/CFT correspondence and its extensions using only tools from gravity and quantum field theory, filling a few gaps in the literature when necessary. Firstly, we review properties of extremal black holes that imply, according to semi-classical quantization rules, that their near-horizon quantum states form a centrally-extende...
متن کاملHolography, degenerate horizons and entropy
We show that a realization of the correspondence AdS2/CFT1 for near extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes in arbitrary dimensional Einstein-Maxwell gravity exactly reproduces, via Cardy’s formula, the deviation of the BekensteinHawking entropy from extremality. We also show that this mechanism is valid for Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes around the degenerate solution dS2×S. These results...
متن کاملThe Kerr/CFT Correspondence and String Theory
The Kerr/CFT correspondence is a holographic duality between a two dimensional chiral conformal field theory (CFT) and the very near horizon limit of an extremal black hole, which includes an AdS2 structure. To understand the dual chiral CFT2, we apply the Kerr/CFT correspondence to a certain class of black holes embedded in string theory, which include the D1-D5-P and the BMPV black holes, and...
متن کاملis a chiral 2 d CFT ? And what does it have to do with extremal black holes ?
The near horizon limit of the extremal BTZ black hole is a “self-dual orbifold” of AdS3. This geometry has a null circle on its boundary, and thus the dual field theory is a Discrete Light Cone Quantized (DLCQ) two dimensional CFT. The same geometry can be compactified to two dimensions giving AdS2 with a constant electric field. The kinematics of the DLCQ show that in a consistent quantum theo...
