March 15 - 19 2016
The 5-day MCTP workshop "Emergent Themes in String Theory" at the University of Michigan takes places in Ann Arbor March 15-19, 2016. Talks will cover several current topics, including entanglement entropy, conformal bootstrap, black holes, supersymmetric localization, amplitudes, and conformal field theories in various dimensions. For each subject, we plan to have an overview talk as well as a few specialized presentations, and in between the talks have ample time for interactions. The workshop is further intended as an opportunity to bring together a number of junior-level researchers to enhance interactions and collaborations across research areas.
