Reducing the Distance Between the Swampland and the Bootstrap - Irene Valenzuela (CERN)

Explore cutting-edge research in theoretical physics with this 44-minute conference talk by Irene Valenzuela from CERN. Delve into the intersection of the Swampland program and the conformal bootstrap, examining how consistency conditions in quantum gravity relate to those in conformal field theory. Gain insights into holography, string theory, and the foundations of quantum gravity as part of the "Gravity from algebra: modern field theory methods for holography" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Discover how modern conformal field theory techniques are being applied to understand the structure of holographic CFTs, gravitational effective field theory, and the nature of AdS vacua. Engage with topics such as large N bootstrap, CFT sum rules, supersymmetry in holography, and the relationship between S-matrices and CFT correlators in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence.
