In this paper we show that in the near horizon the isometry group is enhanced to include the dilatation and special conformal transformation and find the conformal transformation contains the cosmological constant. It is demonstrated that for near horizon extremal Kerr-NUT-Ads NHEK-N-Ad) only one ran-2 Killing tensor decomposes into a quadratic combination of the Killing vectors in terms of conformal group while the others are functionally independent. PAC numbers: 04.50.-h 04.70.Bw Key words: near horizon blac holes Killing tensors hidden symmetries uniform reduced form Introduction It is well-nown that the Killing tensors generate the hidden symmetries of a spacetime which provide an important geometric characters of the spacetime. Carter first found that the new integral of motion is quadratic in momenta and governed by a ran-2 Killing tensor on the Kerr blac hole. ] ince then the similar properties are realized on other various ind of blac holes and theories in higher dimension. 2 3] The Kerr-NUT-Ad blac hole is an important blac hole solution with a rotating and a Nut parameters of Einstein equation which admits two linearly independent Killing vectors and possesses a hidden symmetry generated by a ran-2 Killing tensor. 4] Chen Lu and Pope generalized such it into the Kerr-Nut- Ads blac hole solution with arbitrary rotation and Nut parameters. 5] Kubizn and Frolov demonstrated that all of such solutions admit a universal Killing-Yano tensor. 6] Recently Kerr/CFT correspondence had attracted a lot of attention of theoretic physician. In order to discuss the near horizon geometry of extremal rotation Kerr blac hole Bardeen and Horowitz showed that the near horizon geometry was not asymptotic flat and the time translation symmetry became into conformal group. 7] Rasmussen studied the 4-dimensional extremal Kerr-NUT- Ad solution and obtained the hidden symmetry to be governed by a modified Killing Yano potential. The Killing tensor is reducible. 8] Chernyavsy studied the near-horizon geometry of an extremal Kerr blac hole and showed that a Killing tensor decomposed into a linear combination of the quadratic Casimir operator formed out of the Killing vectors corresponding to the conformal group. 9] This motivates us to consider the near horizon geometry of Kerr-Nut-Ads blac hole with arbitrary rotation and Nut parameters in high dimension. In this paper we first review the metric of Kerr-Nut- Ads blac hole which satisfies high-dimensional Einstein equation. Then by introducing a set of new coordinates and considering for the geometry near horizon we find that only one ran-2 Killing tensor of the NHEK-N-Ad geometry in arbitrary dimension is reducible. The similar results for 4-dimensional Kerr-Nut-Ads and n-dimensional Kerr are obtained in Refs. 8 9]. 2 Near-Horizon Killing Tensors in d 2n Let us consider the general Kerr-NUT-Ad blac hole solution in d 2n dimensional spacetime.
