Third ERC (HoloBHC) Workshop on "Holography"

Workshop

The holographic principle, which postulates dualities between quantum gravity and gauge theories without gravity, has led to tremedous advances over the past years in our understanding of gravity, gauge theories and string theory. This workshop aims at gathering the community working on the topic of holography in relationship to black holes, lower dimensional models, entanglement and top-down string models. Short talks from the local Belgian holography community will take place in addition to the plenary talks of international speakers in order to encourage mutual interactions and transfer of knowledge.

NB: Two other workshops on closely related topics are organized by the Solvay Institutes in the continuous week, please see the links below:

“Cosmological Frontiers in Fundamental Physics”.

“Infrared Physics: Asymptotic & BMS symmetry, soft theorems, memory, information paradox 

and all that”.
