As I will discuss in my Ta-You Wu Lecture, exact statements about conformal field theories can be used to identify and derive constraints on quantum gravity theories. In this technical talk, I will present a couple of new results on conformal field theory in two dimensions motivated by gravitational theories in three dimensions.
