Project overview
The goal of this research project is to understand the structure of quantum gravity theories and black holes at a deeper level through the framework of conformal field theories (CFTs). A CFT is a physical theory which is invariant under changes in its length or energy scale. CFTs appear to play an important role in our universe -- they describe microscopic properties of quantum gravity theories and black holes, yet we are far from understanding why this is the case. The goal of our team is to advance our understanding of quantum gravity via probing its unexplored CFT foundations. We aim to understand how CFTs give rise to consistent theories of quantum gravity that are suited to describe our present-day Universe.
