Black Holes and Superconformal Mechanics
arXiv:hep-th/9804177 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.4553
Abstract
The dynamics of a (super)particle near the horizon of an extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is shown to be governed by an action that reduces to a (super)conformal mechanics model in the limit of large black hole mass.
