This activity aims to bring together experts in the areas of holography and supersymmetric localization to take stock of important developments in the field and to outline key directions for the future.

The AdS/CFT correspondence conjectures an exact equivalence between string theories in anti-de-Sitter space and gauge theories, and allows us to address difficult problems of strongly coupled field theory dynamics on one side -- such as the computation of Wilson loops -- and of quantum gravity on the other side -- such as the quantum entropy of black holes. On the other hand, supersymmetric localization allows us to perform exact non-perturbative computations in strongly coupled gauge theories. The interplay of localization and holography provides powerful new tools to explore the strongly coupled regime of quantum gravity.

The first week will be a School, with the goal of providing the necessary basic knowledge through a series of pedagogical lectures. This activity is intended for students in theoretical physics or mathematics and postdocs with a knowledge of quantum field theory, general relativity and string theory.

The second week will be a focused Workshop with experts in the topics of holography, Wilson loops, supersymmetric localization, quantum entropy of black holes in supergravity and string theory.
