The asymptotic dS Swampland Conjecture - a simplified derivation and a potential loophole
Arthur Hebecker, Timm Wrase
Recently, arguments for a refined de Sitter conjecture were put forward in arXiv:1810.05506. Using the large distance conjecture of arXiv:hep-th/0605264, the authors provide eviden…
Scaling limits of dS vacua and the swampland
Andreas Banlaki, Abhishek Chowdhury, Christoph Roupec +1
We discuss the properties of massive type IIA flux compactifications. In particular, we investigate in which case one can obtain dS vacua at large volume and small coupling. We sup…
The dS swampland conjecture and the Higgs potential
Frederik Denef, Arthur Hebecker, Timm Wrase
According to a conjecture recently put forward in arXiv:1806.08362, the scalar potential of any consistent theory of quantum gravity satisfies a bound $|\nabla V|/V \geq {\cal…
PDFS: Practical Data Feed Service for Smart Contracts
Juan Guarnizo, Pawel Szalachowski
Smart contracts are a new paradigm that emerged with the rise of the blockchain technology. They allow untrusting parties to arrange agreements. These agreements are encoded as a p…
de Sitter extrema and the swampland
Christoph Roupec, Timm Wrase
Recently it has been conjectured that string theory does not allow for dS vacua or dS extrema. To scrutinize such a conjecture, it is important to study concrete string theory comp…
