ABSTRACT:
I will give an overview of recent progress of using bootstrap
techniques to study holographic defects of various dimensions.
In particular, I will discuss bootstrap methods for computing
defect correlators at tree and loop levels, the flat-space limit of
defect correlators, and string theory corrections. I will showcase
these developments in a few nice examples, and also comment
on the connections with related lines of research.
Xinan Zhou is a theoretical physicist and Tenure-track Assistant
Professor at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences,
University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). His
research interests include conformal field theory, AdS/CFT, and
scattering amplitudes. He earned his PhD in 2018 from Stony
Brook University and held postdoctoral fellowships at the
Princeton Center for Theoretical Science before joining UCAS in
2021. He received the 2023 ICTP Prize for his contributions to
high-energy theoretical physics.
