We reveal an \mathfrak{iso}(2,1)𝔦𝔰𝔬(2,1)
Poincar'e algebra of conserved charges associated with the dynamics of
the interior of black holes. The action of these Noether charges
integrates to a symmetry of the gravitational system under the Poincar'e
group ISO(2,1)(2,1),
which allows to describe the evolution of the geometry inside the black
hole in terms of geodesics and horocycles of
AdS{}_22.
At the Lagrangian level, this symmetry corresponds to M"obius
transformations of the proper time together with translations.
Remarkably, this is a physical symmetry changing the state of the
system, which also naturally forms a subgroup of the much larger
\textrm{BMS}_{3}=\textrm{Diff}(S^1)\ltimes\textrm{Vect}(S^1)BMS3=Diff(S1)⋉Vect(S1)
group, where S^1S1
is the compactified time axis. It is intriguing to discover this
structure for the black hole interior, and this hints at a fundamental
role of BMS symmetry for black hole physics. The existence of this
symmetry provides a powerful criterion to discriminate between different
regularization and quantization schemes. Following loop quantum
cosmology, we identify a regularized set of variables and Hamiltonian
for the black hole interior, which allows to resolve the singularity in
a black-to-white hole transition while preserving the Poincar'e symmetry
on phase space. This unravels new aspects of symmetry for black holes,
and opens the way towards a rigorous group quantization of the
interior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
