Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to the ICTP Colloquium by Dr. Agnese 
Bissi, from the ICTP High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics 
(HECAP) Faculty, on "The conformal bootstrap: from boiling water to 
quantum gravity".

The Colloquium will take place at the ICTP, in the Budinich Lecture 
Hall, on Wednesday 15 March at 16:00 hrs CET and will also be 
livestreamed from the ICTP website.

*Biosketch: *In addition to her role within ICTP, Agnese Bissi is 
Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics at Uppsala University 
(Sweden). Following her PhD from the Niels Bohr Institute within the 
University of Copenhagen (Denmark), she was selected for two prestigious 
Post-Docs: the first at the Mathematical Institute of the University of 
Oxford (UK) and a second one at the Center for the Fundamental Laws of 
Nature of the Harvard University (USA). In the period 2017-2020 she hold 
the position of Assistant Professor at the Uppsala University (Sweden).

Her research interests include conformal field theories and quantum 
gravity theories with particular interest to the conformal bootstrap. In 
the last 10 years, Agnese Bissi has been invited to present her ground 
breaking research more than 200 times, at international conferences and 
university seminars in Europe, USA, South America and Asia.

*Abstract*: Conformal field theories are ubiquitous in theoretical 
physics, and they are used to describe phenomena from statistical to 
high-energy physics. In this talk, Agnese Bissi will present the 
conformal bootstrap, a powerful tool to constrain and solve conformal 
field theories using consistency conditions and symmetries. She will 
discuss recent developments on applying the conformal bootstrap to a 
class of conformal field theories that are dual to quantum gravity theories.

The talk will be followed by a question/answer session and light 
refreshments will be served in the lobby shortly after. For more 
information, please see https://indico.ictp.it/event/10297

Looking forward to your participation.

With best regards,

The Office of the Director

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)
