20 Years Later: The Many Faces of AdS/CFT

The first day of the conference, October 31, 2017, will be held in McDonnell Hall, Room A02.On November 1, 2, 3, the conference will be held in Room 407 Jadwin Hall.Much of our current understanding of quantum gravity and of strongly coupled gauge theory comes from the AdS/CFT correspondence. This workshop celebrates the 20th anniversary of AdS/CFT. We will take stock of the past 20 years of progress in understanding the holographic dictionary, applications of the correspondence, implications for quantum gravity and strongly coupled field theories, as well as using lessons from AdS/CFT to understand holographic quantum gravity in a more general context.
