Horizons in Quantum Gravity

The gravitational path integral has become a practical tool for computing intrinsically quantum features of spacetime, including replica wormholes, Page curves, black hole entropy, spectral statistics, and near-extremal densities of states. At the same time, developments on supersymmetric indices, the Giant Graviton Expansion, fortuity, and BPS chaos have led to a rich set of precise probes of the microscopic Hilbert space of quantum gravity. This conference will focus on what this convergence teaches us more broadly about string theory and quantum gravity. The goal is to identify new directions towards a microscopic understanding of quantum black holes, applications to de Sitter horizons, a
