Massive gravitons on the Landscape and the AdS Distance Conjecture

Abstract

This work regards IIB string theory embeddings of massive and bi-metric $Ad{S}_4$ gravity where the spectrum of the theory includes multiple massive gravitons. The corresponding geometry consists of multiple $Ad{S}_4{\times }_w{\mathcal{M}}_6$ spacetimes coupled by Janus throats of different radii. In the second part of this work, the AdS distance conjecture is studied in the above context and it is shown that the scale of the predicted infinite tower of light states is related to the breakdown scale of the effective field theory.
