Conformal Symmetry for Black Holes in Four Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-03 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We show that the asymptotic boundary conditions of general asymptotically flat black holes in four dimensions can be modified such that a conformal symmetry emerges. The black holes with the asymptotic geometry removed in this manner satisfy the equations of motion of minimal supergravity in five dimensions. We develop evidence that a two dimensional CFT dual of general black holes in four dimensions account for their black hole entropy.
