Explore the theoretical framework of flat holography in this 48-minute lecture delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the mathematical foundations and physical principles underlying flat space holographic duality, examining how this concept extends beyond the traditional AdS/CFT correspondence. Learn about the relationship between bulk physics in flat spacetime and boundary theories, investigating the role of asymptotic symmetries and their implications for quantum gravity. Discover how flat holography provides insights into the nature of spacetime at the fundamental level and its connections to scattering amplitudes and soft theorems. Examine the technical aspects of constructing holographic dictionaries in flat space backgrounds and understand the challenges and opportunities this framework presents for theoretical physics research. This presentation forms part of the Summer School for Women in Physics 2025, an intensive program designed to encourage women to pursue careers in physics through hands-on experiments, theoretical discussions, and special lectures by invited speakers.
