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…

A Gravitino Distance Conjecture

Alberto Castellano, Anamaría Font, Alvaro Herraez +1

We conjecture that in a consistent supergravity theory with non-vanishing gravitino mass, the limit is at infinite distance. In particular one can write $M_{…

AdS-phobia, the WGC, the Standard Model and Supersymmetry

Eduardo Gonzalo, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez

It has been recently argued that an embedding of the SM into a consistent theory of quantum gravity may imply important constraints on the mass of the lightest neutrino and the cos…

The Type IIA Flux Potential, 4-forms and Freed-Witten anomalies

Alvaro Herraez, Luis E. Ibanez, Fernando Marchesano +1

We compute the full classical 4d scalar potential of type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of fluxes and D6-branes. We show that it can be written as a bilinear form $V…

A Note on the WGC, Effective Field Theory and Clockwork within String Theory

Luis E. Ibanez, Miguel Montero

It has been recently argued that Higgsing of theories with gauge interactions consistent with the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) may lead to effective field theories parame…

Constraining the EW Hierarchy from the Weak Gravity Conjecture

Luis E. Ibanez, Victor Martin-Lozano, Irene Valenzuela

In this addendum we complement the remarks made in ref[1] constraining the value of the cosmological constant in terms of neutrino masses. Those were based on a sharpened ver…
