On emergent conformal symmetry near the photon ring

Abstract

In this note we revisit the emergent conformal symmetry in the near-ring region of warped spacetime. In particular, we propose a novel construction of the emergent near-ring $sl(2,R{)}_{\text{QNM}}$ symmetry. We show that each eikonal QNM family falls into one highest-weight representation of this algebra, and $sl(2,R{)}_{\text{QNM}}$ can be related to the near-ring isometry group $sl(2,R{)}_{\text{ISO}}$ in a simple way. Furthermore we find that the coherent state space of $sl(2,R{)}_{\text{QNM}}$ can be identified with the phase space of the photon ring.
