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…
