Title:
Quantum Gravity from Conformal Field Theory
Abstract:
I will review a new approach to perturbation theory in AdS gravity based on a large N expansion of the dual conformal field theory. Explicit one-loop amplitudes can be constructed from classical data by demanding consistency of the Operator Product Expansion of the CFT.
