The Space of Holographic CFTs - Two-Dimensional CFTs and AdS3 Gravity - Lecture 5

Explore the final lecture in a five-part series on holographic conformal field theories (CFTs) and their connection to AdS/CFT correspondence. Delve into the special focus on two-dimensional CFTs and AdS3 gravity. Gain insights into the modern perspective on large N conformal field theory across various spacetime dimensions, examined through the lens of the conformal bootstrap and AdS/CFT Correspondence. Investigate key questions surrounding holographic CFTs, including their definition, emergence of equivalent gravity descriptions, and the role of the conformal bootstrap in constraining and classifying consistent large N CFTs and quantum gravity theories. Examine the potential exclusivity of string theory and methods for detecting strings and extra dimensions from field theory properties. Uncover precise predictions made by quantum gravity about strongly coupled CFTs. Access this in-depth exploration of theoretical physics concepts through a livestream or in-person attendance at Salle Itzykson, IPhT, with no subscription required for the YouTube broadcast on IPhT-TV.
