The Space of Holographic CFTs - Correlation Functions and Holography - Lecture 3

Explore the third lecture in a comprehensive series on holographic conformal field theories (CFTs) and their connection to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Delve into the intricacies of correlation functions and their role in holography. Gain insights into the modern perspective on large N conformal field theories across various spacetime dimensions, framed within the context of the conformal bootstrap and AdS/CFT. Investigate key questions surrounding holographic CFTs, including their definition, emergence of gravity descriptions, and the application of conformal bootstrap techniques. Examine the relationship between string theory and holographic CFTs, and uncover how quantum gravity informs our understanding of strongly coupled CFTs. Part of a five-lecture series covering topics such as CFT fundamentals, large N conformal bootstrap, AdS/CFT, correlation functions, and two-dimensional CFTs in AdS3 gravity.
