SUMMARY:Bootstrapping BMS (UNUSUAL DATE) - Arjun Bagchi (IIT Kanpur)
DTSTART:20180626T120000Z

CONTACT:Dr. Carl Turner
DESCRIPTION:The Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries arise at the null bou
 ndary of asypmtotically flat spacetimes. Field theories with BMS symmetry 
 have been recently used to construct the notion of Minkowskian holography\
 , especially in the 3d bulk - 2d boundary case. This programme entails und
 erstanding these rather weird field theories in more detail. In this talk\
 , we would outline how to build a bootstrap programme for 2d field theorie
 s with BMS symmetries inspired by methods of the conformal bootstrap. \nBa
