The Desert and the Swampland
Cody Long, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa +1
The most natural expectation away from asymptotic limits in moduli space of supergravity theories is the desert scenario, where there are few states between massless fields and the…
Finiteness and the Swampland
Yuta Hamada, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa +1
We view and provide further evidence for a number of Swampland criteria, including the Weak Gravity Conjecture, Distance Conjecture and bounds on the finiteness of the quantum grav…
Compactness of Brane Moduli and the String Lamppost Principle in
Alek Bedroya, Yuta Hamada, Miguel Montero +1
We demonstrate the validity of the String Lamppost Principle-that all consistent theories of quantum gravity are in the String Landscape-for supersymmetric theories in using…
The anomaly that was not meant IIB
Arun Debray, Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman +1
Type IIB supergravity enjoys a discrete non-Abelian duality group, which has potential quantum anomalies. In this paper we explicitly compute these, and present the bordism group t…
The FL bound and its phenomenological implications
Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa, Thomas Van Riet +1
Demanding that charged Nariai black holes in (quasi-)de Sitter space decay without becoming super-extremal implies a lower bound on the masses of charged particles, known as the Fe…
Non-Invertible Global Symmetries and Completeness of the Spectrum
Ben Heidenreich, Jacob McNamara, Miguel Montero +3
It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spect…
