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…
