Classical and Quantum N=8 Supergravity
Gianguido Dall'Agata
(Padova)
Abstract:
I will present a series of new results on classical and quantum properties of maximal supergravity in 4 dimensions,
emphasizing the role of the recently discovered "new SO(8) theories".
I will explain how this changes our understanding of some general properties of supergravity theories and comment on the impact of these results on the gauge/gravity correspondence.

Supersymmetric Field Theories on Three-Manifolds and Applications
Cyril Closset
(Weizmann)
Abstract:
In the first part of my talk, I will present a general classification of Riemannian three-manifolds on which one can put 3d N=2 supersymmetric field theories while preserving some amount of supersymmetry. This formalism clarifies the relationship between the extra couplings necessary to preserve supersymmetry in curved space, on the one hand, and various operators of the flat space theory, on the other hand.
In the second part of the talk I will present some simple applications of this formalism. In particular I will present exact results for various two-point functions of N=2 SCFTs which were hitherto out of reach.

Scattering in AdS4/CFT3
Silvia Penati
(INFN)
Abstract:
Abstract: Within the context of the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence I will present recent results concerning the evaluation of scattering amplitudes for N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theories. I will discuss their peculiar properties like dualities, symmetries and exponentiation.
