Current Themes in Holography: Exact results, applications, extensions and fundamentals

General

This workshop aims at bringing together leading experts and young researchers in a broad array of topics relevant to holography. The subjects will include

• holography and exact results in supersymmetric field theories
• applications of the gauge/gravity correpsondence to strongly coupled field theories
• extensions of the AdS/CFT correspondence
• fundamental insights into quantum gravity and black hole physics

This workshop hopes to create a productive and constructive setting for interaction and discussions between researchers working in the field of holography.
