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…
On Supersymmetric D-brane probes in 4d Attractors
Alberto Castellano, Carmine Montella, Matteo Zatti
We extend the -symmetry analysis of supersymmetric D-brane probes in the attractor geometry, originally performed by Simons, Strominger, Th…
Quantum Calabi-Yau Black Holes and Non-Perturbative D0-brane Effects
Alberto Castellano, Dieter Lüst, Carmine Montella +1
We compute the supersymmetric entropy of the most general BPS black hole in 4d supergravity coupled to vector multiplets obtained from Type IIA string theory…
Exact Path Integral Methods in Supersymmetric Backgrounds
Alberto Castellano, Carmine Montella, Matteo Zatti
We determine the exact functional determinants of charged, massive spin-0 and spin- particles in backgrounds threaded by constant electri…
A short overview on the Black Hole-Tower Correspondence and Species Thermodynamics
Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias +1
The breakdown of gravitational effective field theories is intimately connected to the emergence of infinite towers of light states near infinite-distance limits in field space. In…
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…
