Species Scale in Diverse Dimensions
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In a quantum theory of gravity, the species scale can be defined as the scale at which corrections to the Einstein action become important or alternatively as codifying the "…
Bounds on Field Range for Slowly Varying Positive Potentials
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In the context of quantum gravitational systems, we place bounds on regions in field space with slowly varying positive potentials. Using the fact that , where is…
Beyond Large Complex Structure: Quantized Periods and Boundary Data for One-Modulus Singularities
Brice Bastian, Damian van de Heisteeg, Lorenz Schlechter
We study periods in an integral basis near all possible singularities in one-dimensional complex structure moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Near large complex structure poin…
Bounds on Species Scale and the Distance Conjecture
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner
The species scale serves as a UV cutoff in the gravitational sector of an EFT and can depend on the moduli of the theory as the spectrum of the theory varies. We a…
