In this work we explore connections between Quantum Gravity, and TQFT and CFT, through the lense of holography. In Chapter 2, we compute the gravity path integral in a theory with matter described by a TQFT, and show how this corresponds to a distribution of dual (non-gravitational) theories. In Chapter 3, we again perform computations on the gravity side, this time to compute CFT data in arguably the simplest way possible.
