Description
A crucial - and profound - question in the AdS/CFT
correspondence regards the emergence of approximate locality in
the bulk. This question drives at the essence of the holographic
proposal. To investigate this question, one first needs a means of
extracting information in the bulk theory from the boundary CFT.
I'll discuss some of the issues in deriving a flat-space S-matrix
from the CFT, and will also give some preliminary discussion
about how bulk locality might be tested.
