Questions about Witten's recent articles

[ehrenfest]

Hello,

Someone at my school whom I want to impress is going to speak about Witten's recent articles about CFT: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/find/hep/www?rawcmd=ea+Witten,+Edward
Can someone give me some intelligent-sounding questions about these articles?

I don't think you will impress him in that way.
BTW, you gave a link to the list of ALL Witten's papers. The fact that you were not able to pick specific papers does not impress either.

Hello there,

I am always eager to discuss and learn more about the latest research in our field. I am familiar with Witten's recent articles on CFT and find them to be quite intriguing. Here are some potential questions that could spark a thoughtful discussion:

1. In Witten's work on CFT, what are some of the key insights or advancements that he has made in the field?
2. How do Witten's recent articles on CFT contribute to our understanding of the underlying principles of quantum field theory?
3. Can you explain the significance of the holographic principle in relation to Witten's work on CFT?
4. How do Witten's findings on CFT potentially impact other areas of physics, such as string theory or cosmology?
5. Can you speak to the potential applications of Witten's research on CFT in practical scenarios, such as in condensed matter physics or quantum computing?
6. How does Witten's work on CFT fit into the larger context of ongoing research in the field of conformal field theory?
7. Can you discuss any potential implications or connections between Witten's research on CFT and other branches of mathematics, such as topology or algebraic geometry?
8. How do Witten's recent articles on CFT add to our understanding of the fundamental nature of space and time?
9. Can you elaborate on any potential experimental evidence or predictions that could support Witten's theories on CFT?
10. How do Witten's contributions to the study of CFT compare to other notable researchers in the field and what sets his work apart?

I hope these questions can serve as a starting point for a stimulating conversation about Witten's recent articles on CFT. I am eager to hear your thoughts and insights on this fascinating topic.
