The propagator for graviton modes in supergravity on ADS5 x S5
… duality between SUGRA on AdSd and the conformal field theory (CFT) on the (d - 1)-dimensional boundary of AdS d. The propagator is a symmetric bitensor and thus can be written as a linear combination of five basis tensors. A system of equations for the five coefficient functions is …

Fusion of Perturbed Defects in Conformal Field Theory
<p>The infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra of a conformal field theory (CFT), the Virasoro algebra, is generated by the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic part of the stress tensor. Besides such 'chiral symmetries' the CFT also has an integrable symmetry, that is, infinite families of commuting …

From Quantum Information to Cosmic Censorship: Emergent Spacetimes and Their Surfaces
… gravity from the perspective of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We leverage global methods in General Relativity (GR) together with quantum information- and complexity-theoretic properties of the conformal field theory (CFT) dual to obtain novel results in classical and semiclassical gravity. …

Topics in gauge/gravity duality
"Over the past 14 years, the Anti-de Sitter (AdS)/Conformal Field Theory (CFT) correspondence and its generalization in the ideas of gauge/gravity duality have had a profound impact in our understanding of strongly interacting quantum field theories. Roughly speaking, the correspondence maps the …

AdS3 Holography from the Worldsheet
The AdS/CFT correspondence has played a prominent role in developing our understanding of the holographic nature of quantum gravity, postulating that string theory on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is equivalent to a conformal field theory (CFT) on the boundary of AdS. Tractable examples in which both …

Applications of conformal field theories in topological phases of matter
This dissertation discusses some applications of conformal field theories (CFTs) in topological phases of matter. The first part is devoted to a discussion of coupled wire constructions of some novel quantum Hall systems. Through a theoretical coupled wire model, we construct strongly correlated …

On Gaussian multiplicative chaos and conformal field theory
This thesis is concerned with conformally invariant stochastic processes in two dimensions and their applications to conformal field theory (CFT). The main probabilistic objects are the Gaussian free field (GFF) and the random geometries associated to it. Especially, we are interested in Gaussian …
