Features of the Partition Function of a Universe
Dionysios Anninos, Chiara Baracco, Samuel Brian +1
We consider properties of the gravitational path integral, , of a four-dimensional gravitational effective field theory with at the quantum level. To leadi…
Quantum de Sitter horizon entropy from quasicanonical bulk, edge, sphere and topological string partition functions
Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Y. T. Albert Law +1
Motivated by the prospect of constraining microscopic models, we calculate the exact one-loop corrected de Sitter entropy (the logarithm of the sphere partition function) for every…
The dS swampland conjecture and the Higgs potential
Frederik Denef, Arthur Hebecker, Timm Wrase
According to a conjecture recently put forward in arXiv:1806.08362, the scalar potential of any consistent theory of quantum gravity satisfies a bound $|\nabla V|/V \geq {\cal…
Higher genus Siegel forms and multi-center black holes in N=4 supersymmetric string theory
Frederik Denef, Shamit Kachru, Zimo Sun +1
We conjecture that the Fourier coefficients of a degree three Siegel form, , count the degeneracy of three-center BPS bound states in type II string theory compact…
Higher Spin de Sitter Hilbert Space
Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Ruben Monten +1
We propose a complete microscopic definition of the Hilbert space of minimal higher spin de Sitter quantum gravity and its Hartle-Hawking vacuum state. The fundamental degrees of f…
Computational complexity of the landscape II - Cosmological considerations
Frederik Denef, Michael R. Douglas, Brian Greene +1
We propose a new approach for multiverse analysis based on computational complexity, which leads to a new family of "computational" measure factors. By defining a cosmology as a sp…
