Giant Graviton Expansions, Gauge-Gravity Correspondence, and Emergent Spacetime

Explore the powerful technique of giant graviton expansions in gauge-gravity correspondence through this 46-minute conference talk by Hai Lin at ICBS2024. Delve into how this approach reformulates quantum field theory calculations using contributions from extended objects in string theory called giant gravitons. Discover how these expansions simplify complex calculations, capture finite N effects, and provide insights into strongly coupled regimes. Learn about the technique's applications in studying integrability beyond the planar limit, black hole microstate counting, and double holography. Gain a deeper understanding of the versatile role giant graviton expansions play in unraveling various aspects of gauge-gravity correspondence, quantum gravity, string theory, and their underlying mathematical structures.
