Wormhole fragmentation and the axion Weak Gravity Conjecture
Puxin Lin, Gary Shiu
We derive the axion Weak Gravity Conjecture (aWGC) from the nonperturbative fragmentation of Euclidean wormholes into charged defects. Requiring fragmentation to lower the Euclidea…
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…
Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes
Lars Aalsma, Puxin Lin, Jan Pieter van der Schaar +2
The thermodynamics of de Sitter black holes is complicated by the presence of two horizons and the absence of a globally defined timelike Killing vector. The standard choice of the…
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…
