Moduli Space Quantum Mechanics
Luis Anchordoqui, Muldrow Etheredge, Dieter Lust
In this paper, continuing the discussion about Species Quantum Mechanics, we investigate quantum mechanics in moduli spaces using a mini-superspace approach. From this perspective,…
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…
How to deal with conformal and pure scale-invariant theories of gravity in d dimensions?
Anamaria Hell, Dieter Lust
Conformally-invariant and pure, scale-invariant theories of gravity are particularly interesting in four or higher dimensions. Yet, in contrast to their four-dimensional counterpar…
Black Hole Transitions, AdS and the Distance Conjecture
Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst, Carmine Montella
In this work, we investigate the connection between black hole instabilities and Swampland constraints, presenting new insights into the AdS Distance Conjecture. By examining the s…
String dualities and modular symmetries in supergravity: a review
Niccolò Cribiori, Dieter Lust
We review the remarkable interplay between modular symmetries and supergravity, which has led to major advances in both physics and mathematics in recent decades. Our focus will be…
