Abstract
We investigate the near-horizon limit of extremally rotating NS5-branes. The resulting geometry has AdS_2 isometry with two independent chiral Virasoro algebras acting on the boundary. When one of the two angular momenta vanishes, the symmetry is enhanced to AdS_3. The entropy of the boundary theory can be estimated from the Cardy formula and it agrees with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the bulk theory. We can embed the extremally rotating NS5-branes geometry in an exactly solvable string background, which may yield microscopic understanding of this duality, especially about the mysterious enhancement of the symmetry from AdS_2 to AdS_3. The construction suggests emerging Virasoro symmetries in the extreme corner of the (1+5) dimensional little string theory.
