Explore the cutting-edge research on designing gravitational theories through symmetric product orbifolds in this 46-minute conference talk by Alejandra Castro from Cambridge University. Delivered as part of the "Gravity from algebra: modern field theory methods for holography" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into the latest developments in conformal field theory and its applications to holography and quantum gravity. Examine how consistency conditions in quantum gravity relate to those in CFT, and investigate the potential connections to string/M-theory. Gain insights into topics such as large N bootstrap, holographic CFTs, gravitational effective field theory, supersymmetry in holography, and the relationship between S-matrices and CFT correlators. Enhance your understanding of the foundations of holography and its implications for quantum gravity in this thought-provoking presentation.
