Title:
Large N observables, holography, and black holes

Speaker:
Valentin Reys

Abstract:
In this talk, I will present some recent progress on precision holography in four dimensions. I will discuss new results concerning supersymmetric observables in 3d SCFTs at large N, with a focus on the ABJM theory on compact Euclidean 3-manifolds for illustration purposes. I will explain how the perturbatively exact expressions for these observables have important consequences for our understanding of M-theory and quantum aspects of black holes via the AdS/CFT correspondence. Time permitting, I will also discuss recent advances in five dimensions.
