Speaker
Eric Perlmutter

We construct L-functions for general modular-invariant 2D CFTs, providing an analytic language for studying high-energy spectra and their resolution.

Holographic conformal field theories exhibit dramatic changes in the structure of their operator algebras in the limit where the number of local degrees of freedom (N) becomes infinite.

Batoul Banihashemi

We study thermodynamics of gravitational systems with conformal boundary conditions, where the conformal class of the boundary metric and the trace of the extrinsic curvature K are held fixed.
