284. Kerr/CFT: A paradigm to understand the entropy of real black holes?

This is a guest blog post by Geoffrey Compere from the UCSB.

Recently, a correspondence has been proposed between extremal black holes and a chiral two-dimensional CFT. This correspondence might be of interest for real astrophysical black holes. For example, the massive black hole in the Milky Way whose nickname is GRS 1915+105 has a rotation to mass square ratio
