Explore the second lecture in a five-part series on holographic conformal field theories (CFTs) and their connection to quantum gravity. Delve into the fundamentals of CFTs, their data structures, and the large N conformal bootstrap. Examine the AdS/CFT correspondence and develop an understanding of what constitutes a "Holographic CFT." Learn how these concepts relate to emergent gravity descriptions and the classification of consistent large N CFTs. Investigate the role of the conformal bootstrap in constraining theories of quantum gravity and explore the potential implications for string theory and extra dimensions. Gain insights into the precise predictions quantum gravity makes about strongly coupled CFTs. This 1-hour 57-minute lecture, delivered by Eric Perlmutter at IPhT, is part of a comprehensive course offering a modern perspective on large N conformal field theory across various spacetime dimensions.
