IR/UV Mixing, Towers of Species and Swampland Conjectures
Alberto Castellano, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez
By applying the Covariant Entropy Bound (CEB) to an EFT in a box of size one obtains that the UV and IR cut-offs of the EFT are necessarily correlated. We argue t…
AdS Swampland Conjectures and Light Fermions
Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez, Irene Valenzuela
We consider constraints on -dimensional theories in , and backgrounds in the light of AdS swampland conjectures as applied to their compactification in a cir…
Pair Production and Gravity as the Weakest Force
Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez
The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is usually formulated in terms of the stability of extremal black-holes or in terms of long distance Coulomb/Newton potentials. However one can th…
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…
A Strong Scalar Weak Gravity Conjecture and Some Implications
Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez
We propose a new version of the scalar Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) which would apply to any scalar field coupled to quantum gravity. For a single scalar it is given by the differ…
