Explore advanced theoretical physics concepts through this workshop recording featuring five expert presentations on matrix membranes and emergent spacetime theories. Begin with Harold Steinacker's examination of quantum spacetime and gravity within the IKKT framework, followed by Samuel Kovacik's discussion of the Fuzzy Onion model. Delve into Didina Serban's analysis of correlation functions in integrable supersymmetric gauge theories, comparing integrability approaches with localization techniques. Continue with Alessandro Manta's exploration of covariant cosmological quantum spacetimes in the IKKT Matrix Model, and conclude with Werner Nahm's philosophical investigation into potential axioms for quantum gravity. Gain insights into cutting-edge research at the intersection of quantum field theory, string theory, and gravitational physics through these comprehensive presentations from leading researchers in the field.
