Deconfining SCFTs, or the Art of Brane Bending
Iñaki García Etxebarria, Ben Heidenreich, Matteo Lotito +1
We introduce a systematic approach to constructing Lagrangians for a class of interacting SCFTs. We analyse in detail the simplest case of the const…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture and Axion Strings
Ben Heidenreich, Matthew Reece, Tom Rudelius
Strong (sublattice or tower) formulations of the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) imply that, if a weakly coupled gauge theory exists, a tower of charged particles drives the theory t…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture and BPS Particles
Murad Alim, Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius
Motivated by the Weak Gravity Conjecture, we uncover an intricate interplay between black holes, BPS particle counting, and Calabi-Yau geometry in five dimensions. In particular, w…
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…
