The term "near-horizon metric" is often related to the field of general relativity and theoretical physics, specifically in the context of black holes and spacetime geometries. In the study of such systems, the "near-horizon" region refers to the area close to the event horizon of a black hole, where the gravitational effects are extremely strong and the behavior of spacetime can be quite different from that far away from the black hole.
