On Axionic Field Ranges, Loopholes and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Jon Brown, William Cottrell, Gary Shiu +1
In this short note we clarify some aspects of the impact that the Weak Gravity Conjecture has on models of (generalized) natural inflation. We address in particular certain technic…
Fencing in the Swampland: Quantum Gravity Constraints on Large Field Inflation
Jon Brown, William Cottrell, Gary Shiu +1
In this note we show that models of natural inflation based on closed string axions are incompatible with the weak gravity conjecture (WGC). Specifically, we use T-duality in order…
Isospin violating dark matter in Stückelberg portal scenarios
Victor Martin-Lozano, Miguel Peiro, Pablo Soler
Hidden sector scenarios in which dark matter (DM) interacts with the Standard Model matter fields through the exchange of massive Z' bosons are well motivated by certain string the…
