Quantum Gravity: A Unified View from Holography, Lattices, and Strings

Project overview

The goal of this research project is to understand the structure of<br/>quantum gravity theories and black holes at a deeper level through the<br/>framework of conformal field theories (CFTs). A CFT is a physical theory<br/>which is invariant under changes in its length or energy scale. CFTs<br/>appear to play an important role in our universe - they describe<br/>microscopic properties of quantum gravity theories and black holes,<br/>yet we are far from understanding why this is the case. The goal of our team is to<br/>advance our understanding of quantum gravity via probing its<br/>unexplored CFT foundations. We aim to understand how CFTs give rise<br/>to consistent consistent theories of quantum gravity that are suited to describe<br/>our present-day Universe.
