SUMMARY:Gravitational waves via Kerr/CFT - Shahar Hadar\, DAMTP

DESCRIPTION:Massive objects orbiting a near-extreme Kerr black hole plunge
  into the horizon after passing the innermost stable circular orbit\, prod
 ucing a potentially observable signal of gravitational radiation. The near
  horizon dynamics of such rapidly rotating black holes is governed by a co
 nformal symmetry. In the talk I will show how this symmetry can be exploit
 ed to analytically compute the gravitational waves produced by a variety o
 f orbits. I will also discuss an application to gravitational self-force a
 nd comment on the holographic interpretation of the process.
