Description
In this series of lectures (and seminar) I will cover the following:
- The basics of perturbation theory in AdS and how bootstrap ideas can be used to efficiently compute holographic correlators. The example of 4d N=4 SYM in the dual supergravity limit will be analyzed in detail.
- How the bootstrap approach can be extended to include holographic defects. In particular, I will present the recent progress on giant graviton correlators.
