Dynamical Cobordism Conjecture: Solutions for End-of-the-World Branes
Ralph Blumenhagen, Christian Kneissl, Chuying Wang
We analyze finite size solutions for a generalized -dimensional Dudas-Mourad (DM) model featuring dynamical cobordism with neutral and charged end-of-the-world (ETW) defect bran…
Dimensional Reduction of Cobordism and K-theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori, Christian Kneissl +1
It has been proposed that cobordism and K-theory groups, which can be mathematically related in certain cases, are physically associated to generalised higher-form symmetries. As a…
Dynamical Cobordism of a Domain Wall and its Companion Defect 7-brane
Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori, Christian Kneissl +1
Starting from an already known solution in the literature, we study the dynamical cobordism induced by the backreaction of a non-supersymmetric, positive tension domain wall in str…
Swampland Conjectures for an Almost Topological Gravity Theory
Rafael Álvarez-García, Ralph Blumenhagen, Christian Kneissl +2
We analyze AdS and dS swampland conjectures in a three-dimensional higher spin theory with self-interacting matter, which contains conformal gravity and is almost topological. A th…
De Sitter Quantum Breaking, Swampland Conjectures and Thermal Strings
Ralph Blumenhagen, Christian Kneissl, Andriana Makridou
We argue that under certain assumptions the quantum break time approach and the trans-Planckian censorship conjecture both lead to de Sitter swampland constraints of the same funct…
