abstract:

The AdS3/CFT2 correspondence is the conjecture that gravity (more specifically superstrings) should be dual to some two-dimensional conformal field theory. Currently, the precise form of this CFT, or its features, are largely unknown. In this blackboard talk, I will review what is know, what is not, and how we are slowly but steadily making progress thanks to techniques from the world of integrable models.
