Black Hole-Tower Correspondence: Species backreaction in minimal black hole limits
Miquel Aparici, Alvaro Herráez, Joaquin Masias
The Black Hole-String Correspondence identifies the microstates of a minimal black hole with those of a highly excited string. In decompactification limits, where the light states…
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…
End-of-the-World Singularities: The Good, the Bad, and the Heated-up
José Calderón-Infante, Gongrui Cheng, Alvaro Herráez +1
We revisit codimension-one End-of-the-World curvature singularities that drive scalars to infinite distance in field-space and have appeared in the context of dynamical cobordisms.…
A short overview on the Black Hole-Tower Correspondence and Species Thermodynamics
Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias +1
The breakdown of gravitational effective field theories is intimately connected to the emergence of infinite towers of light states near infinite-distance limits in field space. In…
Black Hole Transitions, AdS and the Distance Conjecture
Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst, Carmine Montella
In this work, we investigate the connection between black hole instabilities and Swampland constraints, presenting new insights into the AdS Distance Conjecture. By examining the s…
