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/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.

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
