R7-Branes as Charge Conjugation Operators
Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman, Miguel Montero +1
R7-branes are a class of recently discovered non-supersymmetric real codimension-two duality defects in type IIB string theory predicted by the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture. For…
The Chronicles of IIBordia: Dualities, Bordisms, and the Swampland
Arun Debray, Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman +1
In this work we investigate the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture in the context of type IIB string theory geometries with non-trivial duality bundle. Quite remarkably, we find that m…
Pure Supersymmetric AdS and the Swampland
Miguel Montero, Martin Rocek, Cumrun Vafa
We point out that pure supergravity theories in with enough supersymmetry lead, upon taking the large radius limit, to flat space quantum gravities with a nonperturbatively e…
Black Holes as Probes of Moduli Space Geometry
Matilda Delgado, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa
We argue that supersymmetric BPS states can act as efficient finite energy probes of the moduli space geometry thanks to the attractor mechanism. We focus on 4d com…
IIB Explored: Reflection 7-Branes
Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman, Miguel Montero +1
The Swampland Cobordism Conjecture successfully predicts the supersymmetric spectrum of 7-branes of IIB / F-theory. Including reflections on the F-theory torus, it also predicts th…
Dark Dimension Gravitons as Dark Matter
Eduardo Gonzalo, Miguel Montero, Georges Obied +1
We consider cosmological aspects of the Dark Dimension (a mesoscopic dimension of micron scale), which has recently been proposed as the unique corner of the quantum gravity landsc…
