TL;DR: In this paper, a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July 2009 were described, with the goal of the lectures being to introduce condensed matter physicists to the CFT correspondence.
Abstract: These are notes based on a series of lectures given at the KITP workshop Quantum Criticality and the AdS/CFT Correspondence in July, 2009. The goal of the lectures was to introduce condensed matter physicists to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Discussion of string theory and of supersymmetry is avoided to the extent possible.

TL;DR: In this paper, a local, non-supersymmetric conformal theory for the large N limit was proposed, where supergravity solutions were interpolated from the N=4 super YangMills UV theory to N = 1 superconformal points.
Abstract: We nd new, local, non-supersymmetric conformal eld theories ob- tained by relevant deformations of the N=4 super Yang Mills theory in the large N limit. We contruct interpolating supergravity solutions that naturally represent theflowfromtheN=4super YangMills UVtheorytothese non-supersymmetric IR xed points.

TL;DR: The embedding formalism for conformal field theories is developed, aimed at doing computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin, using an indexfree notation where tensors are encoded by polynomials in auxiliary polarization vectors.
Abstract: We develop the embedding formalism for conformal field theories, aimed at doing computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin. We use an index-free notation where tensors are encoded by polynomials in auxiliary polarization vectors. The efficiency of the formalism is demonstrated by computing the tensor structures allowed in n-point conformal correlation functions of tensors operators. Constraints due to tensor conservation also take a simple form in this formalism. Finally, we obtain a perfect match between the number of independent tensor structures of conformal correlators in d dimensions and the number of independent structures in scattering amplitudes of spinning particles in (d+1)-dimensional Minkowski space.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out a connection between the emergence of bulk locality in AdS/CFT and the theory of quantum error correction and suggest a tensor network calculation that may settle the issue.
Abstract: We point out a connection between the emergence of bulk locality in AdS/CFT and the theory of quantum error correction. Bulk notions such as Bogoliubov transformations, location in the radial direction, and the holographic entropy bound all have natural CFT interpretations in the language of quantum error correction. We also show that the question of whether bulk operator reconstruction works only in the causal wedge or all the way to the extremal surface is related to the question of whether or not the quantum error correcting code realized by AdS/CFT is also a “quantum secret sharing scheme”, and suggest a tensor network calculation that may settle the issue. Interestingly, the version of quantum error correction which is best suited to our analysis is the somewhat nonstandard “operator algebra quantum error correction” of Beny, Kempf, and Kribs. Our proposal gives a precise formulation of the idea of “subregion-subregion” duality in AdS/CFT, and clarifies the limits of its validity.
