Generalized Near Horizon Extreme Binary Black Hole Geometry [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1906.07203


We present a new vacuum solution of Einstein’s equations describing the near horizon region of two neutral, extreme (zero-temperature), co-rotating, non-identical Kerr black holes. The metric is stationary, asymptotically near horizon extremal Kerr (NHEK), and contains a localized massless strut along the symmetry axis between the black holes. In the deep infrared, it flows to two separate throats which we call “pierced-NHEK” geometries: each throat is NHEK pierced by a conical singularity. We find that in spite of the presence of the strut for the pierced-NHEK geometries the isometry group SL(2,R)xU(1) is restored. We find the physical parameters and entropy.
