Chern-Weil Global Symmetries and How Quantum Gravity Avoids Them
Ben Heidenreich, Jacob McNamara, Miguel Montero +3
We draw attention to a class of generalized global symmetries, which we call "Chern-Weil global symmetries," that arise ubiquitously in gauge theories. The Noether currents of thes…

Infinite Distance and Zero Gauge Coupling in 5d Supergravity
Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius
In this note, we prove that for all five-dimensional supergravities arising from M-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold, points of vanishing gauge coupling lie at infinite…

Black Holes, Moduli, and Long-Range Forces
Ben Heidenreich
It is well known that an identical pair of extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes placed a large distance apart will exert no force on each other. In this paper, I establish that…
