Holography@25 — School and Workshop

The AdS/CFT correspondence, first proposed by Juan Maldacena in 1997, relates purely field theoretic models (in the absence of gravity) with a gravitational theory (usually embedded in string theory) in a higher dimension, the correspondence being holographic in nature. Since it is a duality, such that a perturbative model on one side corresponds to a nonperturbative one on the other, it has been applied to understand a multitude of interesting nonperturbative problems, in various areas of theoretical physics.

The Holography@25 will take place at the ICTP-SAIFR in São Paulo, Brazil, and there will be a School (June 5-13, 2023) and a Workshop (June 14-17, 2023). Candidates may apply either for one or both activities.
