Discrete AdS/CFT correspondence

Develop discrete analogs of the AdS/CFT correspondence inspired by number theory, and understand their deep connection with the usual continuum formulation.

Quantum error-correction and holography

Explore the deep connections between quantum error-correcting codes and gravity in the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Quantum Computing

Develop quantum algorithms and demonstrate speed-up and their utility.

AdS Feynman diagrammatics

Develop efficient tools and compute higher-point and higher-loop Feynman diagrams in anti-de Sitter space.

Conformal blocks

Find explicit expressions for and study properties of conformal blocks, the building blocks of local correlation functions in CFTs.

p-adic field theories

Investigate quantum field theory on p-adic spaces and its relation to QFT on continuous spacetime — nonlocal, hierarchical constructions with powerful properties such as a non-renormalization theorem.

Discrete spacetime

Study exact string dynamics in terms of algebraic evolution laws on discrete spacetimes.

Lightcone SUSY

Explore supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the lightcone gauge, where the description is entirely in terms of the physical degrees of freedom.

Vortex string dynamics

Use effective string theory methods to study vortex dynamics in low-viscosity media.
