Expanding the Weak Gravity Conjecture in AdS Space
Puxin Lin, Alessandro Mininno, Gary Shiu
In this work, we investigate the extension of our recent proposal for the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) in AdS space to more general effective field theories. We first extend the c…

Formulating the Weak Gravity Conjecture in AdS Space
Puxin Lin, Alessandro Mininno, Gary Shiu
We propose a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture that applies to AdS spacetime. We find that the condition on the charge-to-mass ratio of a charged particle in AdS spacetime…

Schwinger Effect of Extremal Reissner-Nordström Black Holes
Puxin Lin, Gary Shiu
The Schwinger effect has a variety of physics applications. In the context of black hole physics, it provides a channel for the decay of charged black holes. While the Schwinger ra…
