This workshop will explore recent developments in gravity and holography. In recent years, progress on some of the most fundamental questions in quantum gravity has increasingly been driven by new insights from holography, quantum field theory, and the dynamics of spacetime in the vicinity of and beyond black hole horizons. The meeting will highlight emerging approaches to the physics of black hole horizons and interiors, with emphasis on singularities as endpoints of spacetime evolution and on their relation to dual quantum field theories.
By bringing together researchers working on diverse but interconnected problems – and employing both analytical and numerical methods -the workshop aims to foster new collaborations and fruitful exchange of ideas.
The program will include a limited number of contributed talks. The workshop has no registration fee, with lunch and snacks provided to all participants. Registration and abstract submission will open in early April.
