Black Holes and AdS/CFT - Class 1

Dive into the first of five lectures on Black holes and AdS/CFT, delivered by Jan de Boer from Amsterdam University, Netherlands. Part of the Holography@25 School hosted by ICTP-SAIFR from June 05 to June 13, 2023, this 1 hour and 37 minute talk explores the fascinating intersection of black hole physics and the AdS/CFT correspondence. Gain insights into cutting-edge theoretical physics concepts and their applications in understanding the nature of spacetime and gravity. Suitable for advanced physics students and researchers interested in holography, string theory, and quantum gravity.
