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.
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0603001
http://arxiv.org/abs/0905.1317
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.
