Weak gravity versus de Sitter
arXiv:2011.06597 · doi:10.1007/JHEP04(2021)046
Abstract
We show that one can uncover a Dine-Seiberg problem for de Sitter critical points in supergravity theories by utilizing the magnetic weak gravity conjecture. We present a large variety of N=2 gauged supergravity models that include vector multiplets and in all cases we find that the weak gravity conjecture threatens de Sitter. A common feature in all such examples is a degenerate mass matrix for the gravitini, which we therefore deem a swampland criterion for de Sitter critical points.
