Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 484–487 (1999)Statistical Entropy of Four-Dimensional Rotating Black Holes from Near-Horizon GeometryReceived 27 May 1998; published in the issue dated 18 January 1999 We show that a class of four-dimensional rotating black holes allow five-dimensional embeddings as black rotating strings. Their near-horizon geometry factorizes locally as a product of the three-dimensional anti–de Sitter space-time and a two-dimensional sphere ( AdS3×S2), with angular momentum encoded in the global space-time structure. Following the observation that the isometries on the AdS3 space induce a two-dimensional (super)conformal field theory on the boundary, we reproduce the microscopic entropy with the correct dependence on the black hole angular momentum. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
