Classical Conformal Blocks, Isomonodromy and Black Holes
Abstract:
AdS/CFT correspondence has opened a new window of
understanding of quantum black holes, especially in the
extremal/supersymmetric limit (zero temperature). However, the
non-extremal case still remains elusive. In this talk, we are going
to discuss recent developments on the connection between black holes,
CFT and the so-called isomonodromic deformations. We will show how
isomonodromic deformations allow us to have a better understanding of
quasinormal modes of non-extremal rotating black holes. We will also
discuss how the CFT interpretation of isomonodromic deformations
might shed new light on the description of black holes in the
AdS3/CFT2 correspondence.
