These CFTs are often strongly coupled, however, so for precise calculations we need non-perturbative methods such as the conformal bootstrap, supersymmetric localization, and harmonic analysis. I will explain how these new methods have been used to resolve long standing experimental questions about the superfluid Helium phase transition, provide the first rigorous derivation of a specific model of AdS\/CFT, and in general probe strongly coupled systems across theoretical physics.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Il seminario si terr\u00e0 in Sala Galilei (stanza 131) ed in modalit\u00e0 remota sulla piattaforma\u00a0 Zoom al seguente indirizzo:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\" href=\"https:\/\/infn-it.zoom.us\/j\/84261721878?pwd=MDZNaGdBUlcvUUJXa2phSHZVZk5sdz09\">https:\/\/infn-it.zoom.us\/j\/84261721878?pwd=MDZNaGdBUlcvUUJXa2phSHZVZk5sdz09<\/a><br \/><br \/>ID riunione: 842 6172 1878<br \/>Passcode: 611379<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract: Conformal field theories (CFT) are ubiquitous in physics: they describe phase transitions of magnets and superfluids that can be studied in the lab, as well as provide the only known non-perturbative description of quantum gravity via the AdS\/CFT conjecture.
