A LooKK at the Higuchi Bound
Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias
Massive spin 2 fields on de Sitter must satisfy the Higuchi bound, . Compactifications of higher dimensional gravity to come with a tower of Kaluza-Kl…
Taxonomy of Potentials in Asymptotic Limits
Muldrow Etheredge, Dieter Lüst, Tom Rudelius
In infinite-distance limits of scalar field moduli spaces in quantum gravity, particle masses, brane tensions, and scalar field potentials scale exponentially with geodesic distanc…
Integral Scaling for EFT Strings from the Bottom-Up
Muldrow Etheredge, Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst +1
Near the core of an EFT string in a 4d theory, the scalars are dynamically driven to infinite field distance and a tower of states becomes light, with mass scaling…
Inflationary Particle Production and the Swampland
Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias, Mauro Pieroni +1
We investigate the impact of particle production during inflation in scenarios where an infinite tower of states features a mass scale that decreases exponentially along the inflat…
On the Origin of Species Thermodynamics and the Black Hole - Tower Correspondence
Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias +1
Species thermodynamics has been proposed in analogy to black hole thermodynamics. The entropy scales like an area and is given by the mere counting of the number of the species. In…
Landscape, Swampland, and Extra Dimensions
Luis Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Dieter Lust
By combining swampland conjectures with observational data, it was recently suggested that the cosmological hierarchy problem (i.e. the smallness of the dark energy in Planck units…
