We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

Duality refers to two equivalent descriptions of the same theory from different points of view.
Recently there has been tremendous progress in formulating and understanding possible …

Building on earlier work in the high energy and condensed matter communities, we present
a web of dualities in 2+ 1 dimensions that generalize the known particle/vortex duality. Some …

A bstract There is significant evidence for a duality between (non-supersymmetric) U (N)
Chern-Simons theories at level k coupled to fermions, and U (k) Chern-Simons theories at …

A bstract We initiate an approach to constraining conformal field theory (CFT) data at finite
temperature using methods inspired by the conformal bootstrap for vacuum correlation …

A bstract We analyze in detail the global symmetries of various (2+ 1) d quantum field
theories and couple them to classical background gauge fields. A proper identification of the …

In these lectures we give an overview of the duality between gravitational theories of
massless higher spin fields in AdS and large N vector models. We first review the original …

A bstract We consider the dynamics of 2+ 1 dimensional SU (N) gauge theory with Chern-
Simons level k and N f fundamental fermions. By requiring consistency with previously …

A bstract We propose a new approach to solve conformal field theories and apply it to Chern-
Simons Matter theories and three-dimensional bosonization duality. All three-point …

We present a summary of recent progress and remaining challenges in applying the
methods and ideas of quantum information theory to the study of quantum field theory and …
