Abstract

Proceeding in exactly the same way as in the derivation of the temperature of a dual CFT for the extremal black hole in the Kerr/CFT correspondence, it is found that the temperature of a chiral, dual CFT for the Schwarzschild black hole is T=1/2πT=1/2\pi. Comparing Cardy's formula with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and using TT, it is found that the central charge for the Schwarzschild black hole is of the form c=12Jinc=12J_{\rm in}, where JinJ_{\rm in} is the intrinsic angular momentum of the black hole, Jin=A/8πGJ_{\rm in}=A/8\pi G. It is shown that the central charge for any four-dimensional (4D) extremal black hole is of the same form. The possible universality of this form is briefly discussed.
