KKLT and the Swampland Conjectures
Ralph Blumenhagen, Max Brinkmann, Daniel Klaewer +2
Recently, various swampland conjectures have been proposed that every UV complete effective field theory should satisfy. In particular, these deal with the properties of AdS and dS…
dS Spaces and Brane Worlds in Exotic String Theories
Ralph Blumenhagen, Max Brinkmann, Andriana Makridou +2
We investigate string-phenomenological questions of Hull's exotic superstring theories with Euclidean strings/branes and multiple times. These are known to be plagued by pathologie…
Closed Bosonic String Tachyon Potential from the Point of View
Lorenz Schlechter
The potential of the closed bosonic bulk tachyon is investigated using closed superstring field theory formulated around Berkovits' and Vafas embedding of the bos…
Swampland Variations on a Theme by KKLT
Ralph Blumenhagen, Daniel Klaewer, Lorenz Schlechter
The KKLT scenario in a warped throat, if consistent, provides a concrete counterexample to both the AdS scale separation and the dS swampland conjectures. First, we define and anal…
Machine Learning Line Bundle Cohomologies of Hypersurfaces in Toric Varieties
Daniel Klaewer, Lorenz Schlechter
Different techniques from machine learning are applied to the problem of computing line bundle cohomologies of (hypersurfaces in) toric varieties. While a naive approach of trainin…
The Refined Swampland Distance Conjecture in Calabi-Yau Moduli Spaces
Ralph Blumenhagen, Daniel Klaewer, Lorenz Schlechter +1
The Swampland Distance Conjecture claims that effective theories derived from a consistent theory of quantum gravity only have a finite range of validity. This will imply drastic c…
