Strongly-coupled black holes (are not) at weak coupling
Ben Heidenreich, Matteo Lotito
We prove sharp bounds on the moduli space excursion that is possible outside the event horizon of a spherically symmetric charged black hole. In regions where the black hole charge…
Confined monopoles and failure of the Lattice Weak Gravity Conjecture
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Nicholas Pittman +3
Almost all known theories of quantum gravity satisfy the Lattice Weak Gravity Conjecture (LWGC), which posits that a consistent theory of quantum gravity must have a superextremal…
A Distance Conjecture for Branes
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius
We use branes to generalize the Distance Conjecture. We conjecture that in any infinite-distance limit in the moduli space of a -dimensional quantum gravity theory, among the se…
Taxonomy of Infinite Distance Limits
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius +2
The Emergent String Conjecture constrains the possible types of light towers in infinite-distance limits in quantum gravity moduli spaces. In this paper, we use these constraints t…
Proving the Weak Gravity Conjecture in Perturbative String Theory, Part I: The Bosonic String
Ben Heidenreich, Matteo Lotito
We present a complete proof of the Weak Gravity Conjecture in any perturbative bosonic string theory in spacetime dimension . Our proof works by relating the black hole extr…
Geodesic Gradient Flows in Moduli Space
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich
Geodesics in moduli spaces of string vacua are important objects in string phenomenology. In this paper, we highlight a simple condition that connects brane tensions, including par…
