We present a first-principles derivation of the main results of the Kerr/CFT correspondence and its extensions using only tools from gravity and quantum field theory. Firstly, we review properties of extremal black holes with in particular the construction of an asymptotic Virasoro symmetry in the near-horizon limit. The entropy of extremal spinning or charged black holes is shown to match with a chiral half of Cardy's formula. Secondly, we show how a thermal 2-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) is relevant to reproduce the dynamics of near-superradiant probes around near-extremal black holes in the semi-classical limit. Thirdly, we review the hidden conformal symmetries of asymptotically-flat black holes away from extremality and present how the non-extremal entropy can be matched with Cardy's formula. We follow an effective field theory approach and consider the Kerr-Newman black hole and its generalizations in various supergravity theories. The interpretation of these results by deformed dual conformal field theories is discussed and contrasted with properties of standard 2-dimensional CFTs. We conclude with a list of open problems.

  1. Accidental Symmetry Near Extreme Spinning Black Holes

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new accidental symmetry of the NHEK near-horizon geometry maps extreme to near-extreme Kerr perturbations and embeds with SL(2,R) into a Virasoro algebra.

  2. Classical $J\bar T$ symmetries -- three ways -- and a precision holography check

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The nonlinear symmetry algebra of J bar T deformed CFTs is reproduced exactly by an asymptotic symmetry analysis of AdS3 gravity with mixed boundary conditions.

  3. Extended Near Horizon Symmetries of Extremal BTZ Black Holes in 3D Massive Gravity

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-horizon extremal BTZ black holes in NMG and TMG carry two Virasoro algebras whose central charges equal their spatial-infinity values.

  4. The extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om throat from non extremal near horizon expansions

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    String Carroll first-order data miss the RN AdS2×S2 throat; second-order (EF) or all-order radial (static) terms restore it under near-extremal scaling.
