In summary, the conversation touches on the recent developments in nonperturbative QFT, particularly in CFT and SUSY models. The most exciting results from the early 2000s include the Seiberg-Witten solution, holography, ADS/CFT, and papers on extra dimensions and quantum gravity. The most original and renowned theoretical papers from 2005-2015 are also discussed, along with suggestions for young and talented researchers to pay attention to. One biologist mentions their interest in understanding how geometry might emerge from entanglement in AdS/CFT. They also mention their interest in the AGT conjecture and integrable models.

Hello everybody!
I recently started to work in nonperturbative QFT (especially CFT and SUSY models).
I love my work but wonder what is the recent development in this subject beyond the SM?
It is not hard to see that at the dawn of XX - early 2000's the most exciting results in nonperturbative QFT were Seiberg-Witten solution, Holography, ADS/CFT, Dvali&Arcani-Hamed papers on extra dimensions and quantum gravity and so on...(I'm not well familiar with such progress in string theory)
But what smart people say about 2005-2015? What are the most original and renowned theoretical papers?
What young and talented researcher should pay attention to?

http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.2939
http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.3716

I would also love to understand what is going on in these papers:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.08825
http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01337

Thank you for your reply, I have never seen these papers; it seems they are very interesting.
Unfortunately I have no good supervisors for doing ADS/CFT in my city.
For now I'm interested in AGT conjecture and some integrable models.

Related to New developments in QFT beyond the SM

1. What is the Standard Model and why are new developments in QFT necessary?

The Standard Model (SM) is a theory that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions in the universe. It has been incredibly successful in predicting and explaining a wide range of phenomena. However, it has limitations and cannot account for certain observations, such as dark matter and dark energy. Therefore, new developments in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) are necessary to expand our understanding of the universe and potentially address these unanswered questions.

2. What are some of the new developments in QFT beyond the SM?

Some of the new developments in QFT beyond the SM include theories such as supersymmetry, string theory, and grand unified theories. These theories aim to unify the fundamental forces and particles of the SM with new particles and interactions, potentially providing explanations for dark matter and other mysteries of the universe.

3. How do these new developments impact our understanding of the universe?

If these new developments in QFT are confirmed, they could greatly impact our understanding of the universe. They could provide answers to long-standing questions, such as the nature of dark matter and the origin of the fundamental forces. They could also lead to new technologies and advancements in our scientific understanding of the universe.

4. What are the challenges in studying these new developments in QFT?

One of the main challenges in studying new developments in QFT beyond the SM is the lack of experimental evidence. Many of these theories have not yet been confirmed by experiments, and it can be difficult to test them due to their high energy requirements. Additionally, these theories often involve complex mathematics, making them challenging to understand and apply.

5. How do these new developments impact the future of physics?

The potential impact of these new developments in QFT beyond the SM on the future of physics is immense. If confirmed, they could revolutionize our understanding of the universe and lead to new discoveries and breakthroughs. They could also have practical applications, such as new technologies and advancements in quantum computing. In addition, these developments could inspire further research and advances in the field of theoretical physics.
