We review recent progress on the information paradox. We explain why exponentially small
correlations in the radiation emitted by a black hole are sufficient to resolve the original …

In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its
holographic map** to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and …

We study the constraints imposed by the existence of a single higher spin conserved current
on a three-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT). A single higher spin conserved current …

We propose a duality between the 2d WN minimal models in the large N't Hooft limit, and a
family of higher spin theories on AdS 3. The 2d conformal field theories (CFTs) can be …

We study three-dimensional conformal field theories described by U (N) Chern–Simons
theory at level k coupled to massless fermions in the fundamental representation. By solving …

A bstract We continue the study of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model in the Large N limit.
Following our formulation in terms of bi-local collective fields with dynamical …

A bstract We discuss universal properties of conformal field theories with holographic duals.
A central feature of these theories is the existence of a low-lying sector of operators whose …

A bstract We study three dimensional O (N) k and U (N) k Chern-Simons theories coupled to
a scalar field in the fundamental representation, in the large N limit. For infinite k this is just …

Aiming at nonexperts, the key mechanisms of higher-spin extensions of ordinary gravities in
four dimensions and higher are explained. An overview of various no-go theorems for low …

The conjectured F-theorem for three-dimensional field theories states that the finite part of
the free energy on S 3 decreases along RG trajectories and is stationary at the fixed points …
