Exploring the Kleinian horizons

Self-dual black holes in (2, 2) signature spacetime—Klein space—have recently attracted interest in the context of celestial holography. Motivated by this development, we investigate the structure of spacetime near the horizons of these solutions. Focusing on the self-dual Schwarzschild-Taub-Newman-Unti-Tamburino solution, we demonstrate that, near the Kleinian horizons, the geometry exhibits a local infinite-dimensional symmetry generated by supertranslations and super-rotations. Establishing this result requires refining and extending earlier analyses of asymptotic symmetries near null surfaces. We formulate the appropriate boundary conditions, derive the infinite-dimensional algebra underlying the local symmetries, and compute the associated Noether charges, finding them to be integrable. Finally, we discuss the connection of our findings to recent observations in the literature regarding self-dual black holes in Klein space, including the diffeomorphism relating static and stationary solutions.

Abstract

Self-dual black holes in (2, 2) signature spacetime—Klein space—have recently attracted interest in the context of celestial holography. Motivated by this development, we investigate the structure of spacetime near the horizons of these solutions. Focusing on the self-dual Schwarzschild-Taub-Newman-Unti-Tamburino solution, we demonstrate that, near the Kleinian horizons, the geometry exhibits a local infinite-dimensional symmetry generated by supertranslations and super-rotations. Establishing this result requires refining and extending earlier analyses of asymptotic symmetries near null surfaces. We formulate the appropriate boundary conditions, derive the infinite-dimensional algebra underlying the local symmetries, and compute the associated Noether charges, finding them to be integrable. Finally, we discuss the connection of our findings to recent observations in the literature regarding self-dual black holes in Klein space, including the diffeomorphism relating static and stationary solutions.
