Crossing Symmetry in Matter Chern Simons Theories at Finite N and K - Shiraz Minwalla

Explore the intricacies of Crossing Symmetry in Matter Chern Simons theories at finite N and k in this 43-minute conference talk by Shiraz Minwalla from TIFR. Delivered as part of the Gravity from algebra: modern field theory methods for holography conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation delves into recent developments in conformal field theory and their applications to holography and quantum gravity. Gain insights into topics such as large N bootstrap, holographic CFTs, gravitational effective field theory, and the relationship between S-matrices and CFT correlators. Understand how consistency conditions in quantum gravity relate to those in CFT and explore the potential connections to string/M-theory. This talk is part of a broader conference aimed at bridging the gap between experts in conformal field theory and holographic duality, offering a comprehensive look at cutting-edge research in theoretical physics.
