DESCRIPTION:Holography (also known as AdS/CFT) is a duality re
 lation that gives us a way of formulating question
 s about quantum gravity in terms of more ordinary 
 quantum field theories without gravity. A natural 
 and long-standing goal has been to understand the 
 physics of black holes using holographic duality. 
 I will report on some recent progress on this ques
 tion elucidating the spherical collapse of an in-f
 alling shell of null matter in three dimensional q
 uantum gravity. I will comment on the relation bet
 ween the physics of thermalization in quantum fiel
 d theory and the issue of black-hole information l
 oss.
