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…

Non-associative Algebras of Cubic Matrices and their Gauge Theories
Ralph Blumenhagen, Antonia Paraskevopoulou, Thomas Raml
Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term trun…

Navigating string theory field space with geometric flows
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Thomas Raml
The Swampland Distance Conjecture postulates the emergence of an infinite tower of massless states when approaching infinite-distance points in moduli space. However, most string b…
