DESCRIPTION:Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space provides a unique arena for quantum
  field theory and gravity. Beyond its role in the AdS/CFT correspondence: 
 AdS acts as an “infinite volume box\,” regulating infrared effects whi
 le retaining rich dynamics such as phase transitions. Its boundary structu
 re\, where the isometry group becomes the conformal group\, allows strongl
 y coupled QFTs to be probed with conformal bootstrap techniques\, even awa
 y from criticality. In the flat-space limit\, AdS correlators connect to S
 -matrix physics\, and conformal defects can be naturally described as boun
 dary conditions in AdS. This convergence makes AdS a natural hub for moder
 n non-perturbative methods\, linking insights from diverse communities.\n\
 nTopics to be discussed:\n\n	Gauge theories in AdS\, confinement and strin
 gs.\n	Conformal Defects and their RG flows.\n	S-matrix bootstrap and the f
 lat space limit.\n
