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…
Swampland Constraints on Neutrino Masses
E. Gonzalo, L. E. Ibáñez, I. Valenzuela
Compactifying the Standard Model (SM) on a circle may lead to AdS 3D vacua, depending on the character (Majorana or Dirac) and the mass of the lightest neutrino. It has been shown…
AdS Swampland Conjectures and Light Fermions
Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez, Irene Valenzuela
We consider constraints on -dimensional theories in , and backgrounds in the light of AdS swampland conjectures as applied to their compactification in a cir…
Non-Invertible Global Symmetries and Completeness of the Spectrum
Ben Heidenreich, Jacob McNamara, Miguel Montero +3
It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spect…
The EFT stringy viewpoint on large distances
Stefano Lanza, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Martucci +1
We observe a direct relation between the existence of fundamental axionic strings, dubbed EFT strings, and infinite distance limits in 4d EFTs coupled to gravity. T…
Lectures on the Swampland Program in String Compactifications
Marieke van Beest, José Calderón-Infante, Delaram Mirfendereski +1
The Swampland program aims to determine the constraints that an effective field theory must satisfy to be consistent with a UV embedding in a quantum gravity theory. Different prop…
