Solving the AdS3/CFT2 duality

Abstract

The correspondence between strings on AdS3 and dual CFT2s is one of the cornerstones of holography since its very inception. In the last few years there has been a remarkable revival of activity and progress in understanding quantitatively (i.e., solving) this duality. In this blackboard talk, I will present a pedagogical review of this progress and point out the exciting challenges which lie ahead.
