Abstract

The multicenter solutions of 4d ${\cal N}=2$ supergravity contain a subset of scaling solutions with vanishing total angular momentum. In a near limit those solutions are asymptotically locally AdS$_2\times$ S$^2$, but we show that a higher moment of angular momentum contributes a subtle twist, rotating the S$^2$ with time. This provides some potential hair distinguishing the asymptotics of these scaling solutions from the near horizon geometry of an extremal BPS black hole.

Highlights

  • The multicenter solutions of four-dimensional N 1⁄4 2 supergravity contain a subset of scaling solutions with vanishing total angular momentum

  • In a near limit those solutions are asymptotically locally AdS2 × S2, but we show that a higher moment of angular momentum contributes a subtle twist, rotating the S2 with time

  • The multicentered black hole solutions of fourdimensional N 1⁄4 2 supergravity [1,2,3] provide an interesting setting to investigate the Bogomol'nyi-PrasadSommerfield (BPS) spectrum of string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold and the associated physics problem of black hole entropy and microstates [4,5,6,7,8]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The multicentered black hole solutions of fourdimensional N 1⁄4 2 supergravity [1,2,3] provide an interesting setting to investigate the Bogomol'nyi-PrasadSommerfield (BPS) spectrum of string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold and the associated physics problem of black hole entropy and microstates [4,5,6,7,8]. It is in this setting that recently a subset of multicenter solutions, often called “scaling solutions” [5,13,14,15], has been revisited and its asymptotic AdS2 nature explored [16]; see [17,18] In this short article we point out that somewhat surprisingly the asymptotic geometry typically has a fibred structure, with an S2 rotating over AdS2. Since it has been argued that precisely the scaling solutions correspond to the exponential majority of black hole microstates [19,20,21], a precise holographic interpretation of the twist would be highly interesting We leave this last problem for future work. For a generic multicenter solution these fields and the metric take the following form: ds
