String theory is a consistent mathematical framework for quantum
gravity, a deep question in both fundamental physics and mathematics. One of the main achievements of the past two decades has been the discovery of holographic dualities connecting string theories to quantum field theories without gravity. Black holes play a fundamental role in this story as thought experiments involving black holes have shaped our understanding of both gravity and holography.
This workshop will focus on the interplay between black holes and holography, and in particular in new developments in black hole physics. The topics to be covered in this workshop include: the information paradox, the reconstruction of spacetime and the black hole interior, quantum chaos, and asymptotic symmetries.
