On the General Kerr/CFT Correspondence in Arbitrary Dimensions

arXiv:1202.4156 · doi:10.1007/JHEP04(2012)113

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.
