Near-horizon symmetries of extremal black holes

HK Kunduri, J Lucietti, HS Reall - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2007‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Recent work has demonstrated an attractor mechanism for extremal rotating black holes

Holographic gravitational anomalies

P Kraus, F Larsen - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006‏ - iopscience.iop.org
In the AdS/CFT correspondence one encounters theories that are not invariant under
diffeomorphisms. In the boundary theory this is a gravitational anomaly, and can arise in 4k+ …
