The Tameness of Quantum Field Theory, Part I -- Amplitudes
Michael R. Douglas, Thomas W. Grimm, Lorenz Schlechter
We propose a generalized finiteness principle for physical theories, in terms of the concept of tameness in mathematical logic. A tame function or space can only have a finite amou…

Exact Flux Vacua, Symmetries, and the Structure of the Landscape
Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg
Identifying flux vacua in string theory with stabilized complex structure moduli presents a significant challenge, necessitating the minimization of a scalar potential complicated…

Finiteness Theorems and Counting Conjectures for the Flux Landscape
Thomas W. Grimm, Jeroen Monnee
In this paper, we explore the string theory landscape obtained from type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications. We first give a comprehensive introduction to a number of mathemat…
