Massive objects orbiting a near-extreme Kerr black hole plunge into the horizon after passing the innermost stable circular orbit. The near horizon dynamics of such rapidly rotating black holes is governed by a conformal symmetry. In the talk I will show how this symmetry can be exploited to analytically compute the outgoing gravitational radiation in this process, using a conformal mapping of the plunge to a circular orbit. I will also discuss the holographic interpretation of the process.
