Title: Driven Conformal Field theories and their holographic duals

Speaker: Dr. Bobby Ezhuthachan

Abstract: Stroboscopic dynamics of periodically driven closed quantum systems has been a subject of intense study in recent years, one of the reasons being that many of such studies lead to understanding of several phenomena that have no analogue in equilibrium quantum systems.

A class of such driven systems involves conformal field theories (CFT) subjected to periodic drives. In this talk I will present some recent results on computing correlation functions in SL(2,R) driven 2d CFTs and also discuss the holographic dual understanding of the same.
