Holographic Duals of Near-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom Black Holes

arXiv:1001.2833 · doi:10.1007/JHEP03(2010)123

Abstract

We consider the description of Reissner-Nordstrøm black holes by studying their uplifted counterparts in five dimensions. Assuming a natural size of the extra dimension, the near horizon geometries for the extremal limit are exactly . We compute the scattering amplitude of a scalar field, with a mode near threshold of frequency and extra dimensional momentum, by a near extremal uplifted black hole. The absorption cross section agrees with the two point function of the CFT dual to the scalar field.
