Aspects of non-minimally coupled curvature with power laws
Anamaria Hell, Dieter Lust
We consider a class of theories containing power-law terms in both the Ricci scalar and a scalar field, including their non-minimal couplings. As a first step, we systematically cl…
Conformal and pure scale-invariant gravities in d dimensions
Anamaria Hell, Dieter Lust
We consider conformal and scale-invariant gravities in d dimensions, with a special focus on pure gravity in the scale-invariant case. In four dimensions, the structure of th…
Quantum Calabi-Yau Black Holes and Non-Perturbative D0-brane Effects
Alberto Castellano, Dieter Lüst, Carmine Montella +1
We compute the supersymmetric entropy of the most general BPS black hole in 4d supergravity coupled to vector multiplets obtained from Type IIA string theory…
Classical Black Hole Probes of UV Scales
José Calderón-Infante, Matilda Delgado, Yixuan Li +2
In the context of the Swampland program, black hole attractors have been employed to probe infinite distances in moduli space, where the EFT cutoff goes to zero in Planck units and…
Navigating string theory field space with geometric flows
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Thomas Raml
The Swampland Distance Conjecture postulates the emergence of an infinite tower of massless states when approaching infinite-distance points in moduli space. However, most string b…
Dark dimension with (little) strings attached
Ivano Basile, Dieter Lust
We motivate a relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corn…
On the Degrees of Freedom of Gravity in Flat Spacetime
Anamaria Hell, Dieter Lust, George Zoupanos
We study the degrees of freedom of gravity in flat spacetime with two approaches. By rewriting the theory a la Stueckelberg, and implementing Lorentz-like gauges to the metri…
Gradient flow of Einstein-Maxwell theory and Reissner-Nordström black holes
Davide De Biasio, Julian Freigang, Dieter Lust +1
Ricci flow is a natural gradient flow of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Here we consider the analog for the Einstein-Maxwell action, which gives Ricci flow with a stress tensor contr…
Cobordism, Singularities and the Ricci Flow Conjecture
David Martín Velázquez, Davide De Biasio, Dieter Lust
In the following work, an attempt to conciliate the Ricci flow conjecture and the Cobordism conjecture, stated as refinements of the Swampland distance conjecture and of the No glo…
The Gravitino and the Swampland
Niccolò Cribiori, Dieter Lust, Marco Scalisi
We propose a new swampland conjecture stating that the limit of vanishing gravitino mass corresponds to the massless limit of an infinite tower of states and to the consequent brea…
