A NEAR HORIZON CFT DUAL FOR KERR–NEWMAN AdS

Abstract

We show that the near horizon regime of a Kerr–Newman AdS (KNAdS) black hole, given by its two-dimensional analogue a là Robinson and Wilczek (Phys. Rev. Lett.95, 011303 (2005)), is asymptotically AdS2 and dual to a one-dimensional quantum conformal field theory (CFT). The s-wave contribution of the resulting CFT's energy–momentum tensor together with the asymptotic symmetries, generate a centrally extended Virasoro algebra, whose central charge reproduces the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy via Cardy's formula. Our derived central charge also agrees with the near extremal Kerr/CFT correspondence (Phys. Rev. D80, 124008 (2009)) in the appropriate limits. We also compute the Hawking temperature of the KNAdS black hole by coupling its Robinson and Wilczek two-dimensional analogue (RW2DA) to conformal matter.
