Complexity is Simple
William Cottrell, Miguel Montero
In this note we investigate the role of Lloyd's computational bound in holographic complexity. Our goal is to translate the assumptions behind Lloyd's proof into the bulk language.…
A Note on the WGC, Effective Field Theory and Clockwork within String Theory
Luis E. Ibanez, Miguel Montero
It has been recently argued that Higgsing of theories with gauge interactions consistent with the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) may lead to effective field theories parame…
Are tiny gauge couplings out of the Swampland?
Miguel Montero
There is significant evidence suggesting that continuous global symmetries are always gauged in quantum gravity. However, very weakly gauged symmetries seem global to an effective…
A Chern-Simons Pandemic
Miguel Montero, Angel M. Uranga, Irene Valenzuela
In this paper we study the consistency of generalized global symmetries in theories of quantum gravity, in particular string theory. Such global symmetries arise in theories with $…
