In science, we often see new advances and insights emerging from the intersection of different ideas coming from what appeared to be disconnected research areas. The theme of my colloquium will be an ongoing collision between the three ideas listed in my title which has been generating interesting new insights into a variety of fields, eg, condensed matter physics, quantum field theory and even quantum gravity. Iwill give an introduction to each of these three ideas separately and then discuss the intersections that have been generating new insights in recentyears.
The following activities have also been organized around these lectures
