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…
