Description

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the original program has been postponed. This mini program is a precursor to the original program.The goal of the second edition of the program ‘Nonperturbative and Numerical Approaches to Quantum Gravity, String Theory and Holography’ is to bring together theorists working in areas of lattice field theory, string theory and quantum gravity, to discuss the state of art nonperturbative methods and numerical approaches to tackle current and relevant research problems.The program has strong pedagogical component as it also aims to build a growing community of theoretical scientists in India, to engage more in nonperturbative field theories interconnecting string theory,  supersymmetric/superconformal field theories, quantum black holes, gravity, and holography.This program can be broadly divided into the following five topics.Lattice Supersymmetric Field TheoriesRecent developments in realizing 4d N = 4 supersymmetry on a lattice (including ideas on r...
