These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum
Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to …

In this article we review recent progress on the holographic modelling of field theories with
Lifshitz symmetry. We focus in particular on the holographic dictionary for Lifshitz …

A bstract We take an analytic approach to the CFT bootstrap, studying the 4-pt correlators of
d> 2 dimensional CFTs in an Eikonal-type limit, where the conformal cross ratios satisfy …

Various holographic approaches to QCD in five dimensions are explored using input both
from the putative five-dimensional non-critical string theory as well as QCD. It is argued that …

We formulate the variational problem for AdS gravity with Dirichlet boundary conditions and
demonstrate that the covariant counterterms are necessary to make the variational problem …

We consider holography for d-dimensional scale invariant but non-Lorentz invariant field
theories, which do not admit the full Schrodinger symmetry group. We find new realizations …

Strongly correlated quantum fluids are phases of matter that are intrinsically quantum
mechanical and that do not have a simple description in terms of weakly interacting …

We present a comprehensive analysis of the prescription we recently put forward for the
computation of real-time correlation functions using gauge/gravity duality. The prescription is …

The fuzzball proposal states that associated with a black hole of entropy S, there are
expShorizon-free non-singular solutions that asymptotically look like the black hole but …

In three spacetime dimensions, general relativity becomes a topological field theory, whose
dynamics can be largely described holographically by a two-dimensional conformal field …
