Event Description

Organizers: Mark Mezei, Eric Perlmutter, and Herman Verlinde

This workshop will unify two broad topics of recent interest, brought together by the AdS/CFT correspondence: the construction of novel probes of spacetime dynamics in gravity and string theory, and non-perturbative methods for constraining the space of unitary CFTs and theories of AdS quantum gravity. Through the lens of quantum chaos, entanglement dynamics and the conformal bootstrap at large central charge, the workshop aims to illuminate the structure of holographic CFTs and the mechanism of emergence of classical geometry.
