Running Decompactification, Sliding Towers, and the Distance Conjecture
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Jacob McNamara +3
We study towers of light particles that appear in infinite-distance limits of moduli spaces of 9-dimensional string theories, some of which notably feature decompac…
Asymptotic Accelerated Expansion in String Theory and the Swampland
José Calderón-Infante, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela
We study whether the universal runaway behaviour of stringy scalar potentials towards infinite field distance limits can produce an accelerated expanding cosmology à la quintessenc…
Large Field Distances from EFT strings
Stefano Lanza, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Martucci +1
In any consistent effective field theory of quantum gravity limits of infinite field distance are expected to lead to the EFT breakdown due to the appearance of an infinite tower o…
The Dark Dimension and the Swampland
Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa, Irene Valenzuela
Motivated by principles from the Swampland program, which characterize requirements for a consistent UV completion of quantum gravity, combined with observational data, we are led…
The Desert and the Swampland
Cody Long, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa +1
The most natural expectation away from asymptotic limits in moduli space of supergravity theories is the desert scenario, where there are few states between massless fields and the…
Finiteness and the Swampland
Yuta Hamada, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa +1
We view and provide further evidence for a number of Swampland criteria, including the Weak Gravity Conjecture, Distance Conjecture and bounds on the finiteness of the quantum grav…
