SUMMARY:Long-Distance AdS Physics from the CFT Bootstrap
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Matthew Walters\, Johns Hopkins University\n\nPart of
	 the HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\nI will discuss recent work studying 
	the universal properties of long-distance physics in anti-de Sitter spaceti
	me from the perspective of conformal field theory. Using the famed AdS/CFT 
	correspondence\, the behavior of interactions between objects at large sepa
	ration in AdS can be rephrased in terms of the anomalous dimensions of oper
	ators with large spin in CFT. The structure of these operators can then be 
	greatly constrained using the standard conformal bootstrap program. After r
	eviewing a recent CFT-based proof of the cluster decomposition principle fo
	r AdS theories in four or more dimensions\, I will proceed to discuss the g
	eneralization of this proof to three-dimensional AdS\, specifically in the 
	limit of semi-classical gravity. This generalization will then reveal the r
	ich structure of 3D gravity\, namely the existence of deficit angles and th
	e thermal nature of BTZ black holes.
