The Minimal Weak Gravity Conjecture
Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno, Timo Weigand +1
We examine the minimal constraints imposed by the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) on the particle spectrum of a quantum gravity theory. Towers of super-extremal states have previousl…
Species Scale in Diverse Dimensions
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In a quantum theory of gravity, the species scale can be defined as the scale at which corrections to the Einstein action become important or alternatively as codifying the "…
Bounds on Field Range for Slowly Varying Positive Potentials
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In the context of quantum gravitational systems, we place bounds on regions in field space with slowly varying positive potentials. Using the fact that , where is…
Bounds on Species Scale and the Distance Conjecture
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner
The species scale serves as a UV cutoff in the gravitational sector of an EFT and can depend on the moduli of the theory as the spectrum of the theory varies. We a…
