Week 6-onwards: Journal Club Style covering recent papers on conformal bootstrap, Lorentzian conformal field theories, Mellin amplitudes, momentum space computations and connections with AdS/CFT etc.

The list will be provided and the aim of the course is to prepare students to embark the research in this exciting field. The students will be expected to have good knowledge of quantum field theory (QFT2), and strong motivations to work through the research papers. Each student will be expected to act as the discussion leader for at least one or two papers during the course, the final grade will be given in terms of the presentation, discussions etc.
