The Swampland Conjectures: A bridge from Quantum Gravity to Particle Physics
Mariana Graña, Alvaro Herráez
The swampland is the set of seemingly consistent low-energy effective field theories that cannot be consistently coupled to quantum gravity. In this review we cover some of the con…

On scale separation in type II AdS flux vacua
Anamaría Font, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez
We study the separation of AdS and Kaluza-Klein (KK) scales in type II 4d AdS orientifold vacua. We first address this problem in toroidal/orbifold type IIA vacua with metric fluxe…

The Swampland Distance Conjecture and Towers of Tensionless Branes
Anamaría Font, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez
The Swampland Distance Conjecture states that at infinite distance in the scalar moduli space an infinite tower of particles become exponentially massless. We study this issue in t…
