The primary approach to understanding quantum gravity non-perturbatively is through the AdS/CFT correspondence. The issue is that holographic CFTs are not amenable to traditional perturbative methods. Against this backdrop, two significant non-perturbative techniques have been developed to address this: supersymmetric localization and numerical conformal bootstrap. Recently, it has been shown that the observables computed from localization can be input into the bootstrap to improve bounds, potentially leading to non-perturbative solutions to holographic CFTs, and thus quantum gravity. So far, the bootstrap and localization communities have not overlapped much, due to the high technical barrier of entry to each. This conference aims at overcoming this barrier by bringing together experts from each community.
The conference will include the following topics:
Review talks will be given by
