Abstract

Any spacetime containing a degenerate Killing horizon, such as an extremal black hole, possesses a well-defined notion of a near-horizon geometry. We review such near-horizon geometry solutions in a variety of dimensions and theories in a unified manner. We discuss various general results including horizon topology and near-horizon symmetry enhancement. We also discuss the status of the classification of near-horizon geometries in theories ranging from vacuum gravity to Einstein-Maxwell theory and supergravity theories. Finally, we discuss applications to the classification of extremal black holes and various related topics. Several new results are presented and open problems are highlighted throughout.

极端黑洞近视界几何的分类

任何包含简并毁灭视界的时空，比如一个极端黑洞，都拥有一个定义良好的近视界几何概念。我们统一地从不同的维度和理论来回顾这类近视界几何解。我们讨论了包括视界拓扑和近视界对称性增强在内的各种一般结果。我们还讨论了近视界几何的分类在从真空引力到爱因斯坦-麦克斯韦理论和超引力理论等理论中的地位。最后，我们讨论了在极端黑洞分类和各种相关主题中的应用。提出了几个新的结果，并强调了开放性问题。

期刊介绍： Living Reviews in Relativity is a peer-reviewed, platinum open-access journal that publishes reviews of research across all areas of relativity. Directed towards the scientific community at or above the graduate-student level, articles are solicited from leading authorities and provide critical assessments of current research. They offer annotated insights into key literature and describe available resources, maintaining an up-to-date suite of high-quality reviews, thus embodying the "living" aspect of the journal's title. Serving as a valuable tool for the scientific community, Living Reviews in Relativity is often the first stop for researchers seeking information on current work in relativity. Written by experts, the reviews cite, explain, and assess the most relevant resources in a given field, evaluating existing work and suggesting areas for further research. Attracting readers from the entire relativity community, the journal is useful for graduate students conducting literature surveys, researchers seeking the latest results in unfamiliar fields, and lecturers in need of information and visual materials for presentations at all levels.
