Moduli-dependent Species Scale
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
The counting of the number of light modes in a gravitational theory is captured by the notion of the `species scale', which serves as an effective UV cutoff below the Planck scale.…
Asymptotic String Compactifications; Periods, flux potentials, and the swampland
Damian van de Heisteeg
In this thesis we have studied various applications of asymptotic Hodge theory in string compactifications. This mathematical framework captures how physical couplings of the resul…
The Tadpole Conjecture in Asymptotic Limits
Mariana Graña, Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg +2
The tadpole conjecture suggests that the complete stabilization of complex structure deformations in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications is severely obstructed by the tadp…
