Perturbations of the Kerr metric admit a spectrum of massless excitations, which we interpret as Goldstone modes coming from the metric’s broken spherical symmetry. The zero-frequency mode is related to the conformal Yano-Killing tensor which encodes Carter’s constant and the Killing vectors of the spacetime. The modes are described by a conformal field theory, which becomes two-dimensional Liouville theory in the near-horizon limit. Directly counting the quantum microstates of this theory reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.
