Abstract
Recent studies suggest that in the Kerr/CFT correspondence, much universal information of the dual CFT, including the central charges and the temperatures, is fully encoded in the thermodynamics of the outer and inner horizons of the Kerr(-Newman) black holes. In this paper, we study holographic descriptions of Reissner-Nordström (RN) black holes in arbitrary dimensions by using the thermodynamics method.We refine the thermodynamics method proposed in [20] by imposing the “quantization” condition so that we can fix the ambiguity in determining the central charges of the dual CFT of RN black holes. Using the refined thermodynamics method, we find the holographic CFT duals for the RN black holes, and confirm these pictures by using conventional analysis of asymptotic symmetry group and the hidden conformal symmetry in the low-frequency scattering. In particular, we revisit the four-dimensional dyonic RN black hole and find a novel magnetic picture, besides the known electric CFT dual picture. We show how to generate a class of dual dyonic pictures by SL(2, Z) transformations.
