报告摘要：

I will explain how giant gravitons can be viewed as zero dimensional defects and use this perspective to develop a bootstrap approach to compute correlators with light operators at strong coupling. I will point out an interesting hidden structure in the results which organizes all infinitely many correlators into a single generating function. This structure, upon simple modification, also holds at weak coupling at each loop order。

Xinan Zhou did his undergraduate studies at University of Science and Technology of China, and obtained his PhD from the C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University in 2018. From 2018 to 2021, he was a postdoc fellow at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science in Princeton University. He joined the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021. He has also been a visiting faculty member at ShanghaiTech University since 2023. He research mainly focuses on the computation of correlation functions in the context of AdS/CFT and the development of analytic tools for the conformal bootstrap program. He is the recipient of the 2023 ICTP Prize awarded by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste.
