String dualities and wedge singularities
Ivano Basile, Dieter Lust
We study strings propagating in backgrounds with a wedge singularity, namely whose internal sector describes a wedge sum of closed manifolds. We focus on the wedge sum of two circl…
String theory in the infrared
Ivano Basile
I briefly summarize a recent research program aiming to probe the landscape of low-energy phases of string theory from a global perspective. Borrowing conceptual lessons from the s…
Asymptotic safety, quantum gravity, and the swampland: a conceptual assessment
Ivano Basile, Benjamin Knorr, Alessia Platania +1
We provide a conceptual assessment of some aspects of fundamental quantum field theories of gravity in light of foundational aspects of the swampland program. On the one hand, asym…
Visions in Quantum Gravity
Luca Buoninfante, Benjamin Knorr, K. Sravan Kumar +36
To deepen our understanding of Quantum Gravity and its connections with black holes and cosmology, building a common language and exchanging ideas across different approaches is cr…
Lectures in Quantum Gravity
Ivano Basile, Luca Buoninfante, Francesco Di Filippo +3
Formulating a quantum theory of gravity lies at the heart of fundamental theoretical physics. This collection of lecture notes encompasses a selection of topics that were covered i…
