Strings School 2015 willintroduce a wide range of basic background material for forefront areas of String theory, Quantum Field Theory and Gravity to senior graduate students and young postdocs,prepare young researchers for Strings 2015 meeting which will take place in the same venue immediately following the School,bring about interactions and exchange of ideas among young physicists at a global level.The areas chosen for the School span most active areas of research in string theory over the last several years. The lectures will cover a selection of basic material as well as advanced topics at the forefront of current research. Leading physicists representing these areas of research will be giving lectures. The list of topics is given below:TopicsConformal BootstrapEntanglement entropyHydrodynamicsHigher Spin AdS/CFTExact results in SUSY gauge theoriesDynamical aspects of AdS/CFTString perturbation theoryPrecision studies of black holesC-theorems in various dimensionsBesides the lect...
