What We Can Learn From Being Free and Tensionless - Rajesh Gopakumar

Explore the insights gained from studying free and tensionless systems in a conference talk delivered by Rajesh Gopakumar from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS). Recorded as part of the "Gravity from algebra: modern field theory methods for holography" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), delve into the latest developments in conformal field theory (CFT) and its applications to holography and quantum gravity. Examine how consistency conditions in quantum gravity relate to those in CFT, and investigate whether these naturally lead to string/M-theory. Gain exposure to topics such as large N bootstrap, holographic CFTs, gravitational effective field theory, supersymmetry in holography, low-dimensional holography, modularity, quantum chaos, black holes, gravitational path integrals, and the relationship between S-matrices and CFT correlators. Benefit from the collaborative efforts of experts in both holographic duality and CFT as they explore these cutting-edge concepts in theoretical physics.
