Title: Recent Progresses of AdS/BCFT

Abstract: In this lecture, I would like to review recent progresses of holography for conformal field theories on manifolds with boundaries, which is called as AdS/BCFT. After we introduce the AdS/BCFT construction, we would like to introduce the holographic entanglement entropy and entanglement wedges in AdS/BCFT, which provided one of the important ideas behind the recent Island formula. Finally, we would like to explain our recent work about codimension two holography, called wedge holography as an application of AdS/BCFT.

Speaker: Professor Tadashi Takayanagi, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University, Japan. He is playing the role of Principal Investigator of It from Qubit Simons Collaboration
on Quantum Fields, Gravity, and Information.

Date and Time: 16th November 2020, 2.00 PM to 4.30 PM PM Berlin time (6:30 PM to 9:00 PM Indian time)
