The Computational Complexity of the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Stefano Lanza
The Weak Gravity Conjecture imposes stringent constraints on effective field theories to allow for an ultraviolet completion within quantum gravity. While substantial evidence supp…

Uplifts in the Penumbra: Features of the Moduli Potential away from Infinite-Distance Boundaries
Stefano Lanza, Alexander Westphal
The construction of meta-stable four-dimensional de Sitter vacua in type IIB string compactifications represents an important question and an ongoing area of work. There is conside…

Asymptotics of 5d Supergravity Theories and the Emergent String Conjecture
Lukas Kaufmann, Stefano Lanza, Timo Weigand
We invoke probe brane arguments to classify the asymptotic behavior of general five-dimensional supergravity theories with eight supercharges near infinite distance boundaries of t…
