SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on recent developments in nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory (QFT), particularly Conformal Field Theory (CFT) and Supersymmetry (SUSY) models, highlighting significant advancements from 2005 to 2015. Key topics include the AdS/CFT correspondence and the emergence of geometry from entanglement, with references to influential papers such as the Seiberg-Witten solution and various works on integrable models and the AGT conjecture. The participant expresses a desire to explore specific theoretical papers that contribute to these areas, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts for researchers in the field.

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?

I'm a biologist, not a professional, but I think AdS/CFT remains the most exciting, especially the efforts to understand how geometry might emerge from entanglement.

I would also love to understand what is going on in these papers:

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.
