Spectral Geometry of Black Holes in 4D Gauged Supergravity

Abstract

In this work we show that the area of the event horizon of the Chong–Cvetic–Lu–Pope black hole can be reconstructed in terms of the spectra of the Laplacian on the event horizon. This result, which extends previous works regarding the de Sitter–Kerr–Newman case, points towards a possible description of the black hole degrees of freedom in terms of the spectra of canonical operators defined on the event horizon.
