On the general Kerr/CFT correspondence in arbitrary dimensions

Abstract: We study conformal symmetries on the horizon of a general stationary and axisymmetric black hole. We find that there exist physically reasonable boundary conditions that uniquely determine a set of symmetry generators, which form one copy of the Virasoro algebra. For extremal black holes, Cardy's formula reproduces exactly the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. *

“…One of the most important supports is that the Cardy microstate degeneracy on the CFT side precisely matched the Bekenstein Hawking entropy. And such correspondence was soon generalized to various extremal or near-extremal black holes [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] for a sample). In a similar way, rotating uncharged black holes (either in asymptotically flat or AdS spacetimes) have attracted a lot of attention in connection with the Kerr/CFT correspondence [43][44][45][46][47] (see also [48] and references therein). On the other hand, while the geometric and thermodynamic equilibrium properties of rotating charged black holes have been well studied since the discovery of the Kerr-Newman solution [49], the decoupling of the gravitational and electromagnetic perturbation equations for these black holes remains as a long-standing open problem in general relativity theory [50][51][52].…”

“…One of our main result is that, just like for extremal black holes [7,8], in the non-extremal case there is also an independent copy of Virasoro algebra for each non-vanishing angular momentum, and each Virasoro algebra is equally good in reproducing the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. But for non-extremal black holes, the result is off by a factor of 2 [10]. We wish to resolve this problem in the near future.…”
