On Asymptotic Dark Energy in String Theory
Sera Cremonini, Eduardo Gonzalo, Muthusamy Rajaguru +2
We examine bounds on accelerated expansion in asymptotic regions of the moduli space in string theory compactifications to four spacetime dimensions. While there are conjectures th…
Fluxes, Vacua, and Tadpoles meet Landau-Ginzburg and Fermat
Katrin Becker, Eduardo Gonzalo, Johannes Walcher +1
Type IIB flux vacua based on Landau-Ginzburg models without Kähler deformations provide fully-controlled insights into the non-geometric and strongly-coupled string landscape. We s…
Type IIB flux compactifications with
Jacob Bardzell, Eduardo Gonzalo, Muthusamy Rajaguru +2
We revisit flux compactifications of type IIB string theory on `spaces' dual to rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds. This rather unexplored part of the string landscapes harbors many intere…
Swampland Constraints on Neutrino Masses
E. Gonzalo, L. E. Ibáñez, I. Valenzuela
Compactifying the Standard Model (SM) on a circle may lead to AdS 3D vacua, depending on the character (Majorana or Dirac) and the mass of the lightest neutrino. It has been shown…
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…
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…
Modular Symmetries and the Swampland Conjectures
Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez, Ángel M. Uranga
Recent string theory tests of swampland ideas like the distance or the dS conjectures have been performed at weak coupling. Testing these ideas beyond the weak coupling regime rema…
The Fundamental Need for a SM Higgs and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez
Compactifying the SM down to 3D or 2D one may obtain AdS vacua depending on the neutrino mass spectrum. It has been recently shown that, by insisting in the absence of these vacua,…
AdS-phobia, the WGC, the Standard Model and Supersymmetry
Eduardo Gonzalo, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez
It has been recently argued that an embedding of the SM into a consistent theory of quantum gravity may imply important constraints on the mass of the lightest neutrino and the cos…
