Three-point functions in AdS/CFT and functional light-cone methods
📍 London
Tristan McLoughlin
(AEI)
Abstract:
In this talk we will briefly review the recent progress in the semiclassical string theory calculation of non-BPS gauge theory three-point correlation functions at strong coupling. We will then discuss the light-cone path integral approach to such three-point functions with a focus on near-BMN operators where one can systematically go beyond the semiclassical approximation.

Holography and Superconductors
Julian Sonner
(IC)
Abstract:
Holographic superconductors are gravitational backgrounds, in the sense of gauge-gravity duality, that produce the symmetry breaking pattern and associated phenomenology of superconductors in the boundary theory dual to the gravity solution. In this talk I will describe how such systems are constructed, how they can be embedded into M-theory (and string theory) and how their hydrodynamic description at strong coupling can be derived from the gravity picture.
