Optimal paths across potentials on scalar field space
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Carmine Montella +1
Motivated by the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we study distances in field space using the framework of Optimal Transport. The associated optimisation problem naturally leads to a…
Exact Path Integral Methods in Supersymmetric Backgrounds
Alberto Castellano, Carmine Montella, Matteo Zatti
We determine the exact functional determinants of charged, massive spin-0 and spin- particles in backgrounds threaded by constant electri…
On Supersymmetric D-brane probes in 4d Attractors
Alberto Castellano, Carmine Montella, Matteo Zatti
We extend the -symmetry analysis of supersymmetric D-brane probes in the attractor geometry, originally performed by Simons, Strominger, Tho…
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…
Quantum Calabi-Yau Black Holes and Non-Perturbative D0-brane Effects
Alberto Castellano, Dieter Lüst, Carmine Montella +1
We compute the supersymmetric entropy of the most general BPS black hole in 4d supergravity coupled to vector multiplets obtained from Type IIA string theory…
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…
Minimal Black Holes and Species Thermodynamics
Ivano Basile, Niccolò Cribiori, Dieter Lust +1
The species scale provides a lower bound on the shortest possible length that can be probed in gravitational effective theories. It may be defined by the size of the minimal black…
Shedding black hole light on the emergent string conjecture
Ivano Basile, Dieter Lust, Carmine Montella
Asymptotically massless towers of species are ubiquitous in the string landscape when infinite-distance limits are approached. Due to the remarkable properties of string dualities,…
Domain walls and distances in discrete landscapes
Ivano Basile, Carmine Montella
We explore a notion of distance between vacua of a discrete landscape that takes into account scalar potentials and fluxes via transitions mediated by domain walls. Such settings c…
Species Entropy and Thermodynamics
Niccolò Cribiori, Dieter Lust, Carmine Montella
We analyse particle species and the species scale in quantum gravity from a thermodynamic perspective. In close analogy to black hole thermodynamics, we propose that particle speci…
Quantum gravity constraints on scale separation and de Sitter in five dimensions
Niccolò Cribiori, Carmine Montella
We give evidence that supersymmetric anti-de Sitter vacua of five-dimensional supergravity cannot be scale separated as a consequence of quantum gravity constraints, such as the we…
