Black hole entropy and moduli-dependent species scale
Niccolò Cribiori, Dieter Lust, Georgina Staudt
We provide a moduli-dependent definition of species scale in quantum gravity based on black hole arguments. Concretely, it is derived from of a lower bound on the entropy of extrem…
Dimensional Reduction of Cobordism and K-theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori, Christian Kneissl +1
It has been proposed that cobordism and K-theory groups, which can be mathematically related in certain cases, are physically associated to generalised higher-form symmetries. As a…
Dynamical Cobordism of a Domain Wall and its Companion Defect 7-brane
Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori, Christian Kneissl +1
Starting from an already known solution in the literature, we study the dynamical cobordism induced by the backreaction of a non-supersymmetric, positive tension domain wall in str…
Looking for structure in the cobordism conjecture
David Andriot, Nils Carqueville, Niccolò Cribiori
The cobordism conjecture of the swampland program states that the bordism group of quantum gravity must be trivial. We investigate this statement in several directions, on both the…
De Sitter, gravitino mass and the swampland
Niccolò Cribiori
In this contribution, we review a general argument showing that de Sitter critical points of extended supergravity are in tension with the magnetic weak gravity conjecture if the g…
Weak gravity versus scale separation
Niccolò Cribiori, Gianguido Dall'Agata
We give evidence that fully supersymmetric Anti-de Sitter vacua of extended supergravity with a residual gauge group containing an abelian factor cannot be scale separated as a con…
