Positivity of Curvature-Squared Corrections in Gravity
Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen
We study the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term as the leading higher-curvature correction to pure Einstein gravity. Assuming a tree-level ultraviolet completion free of ghosts or tachyons, we…

Infrared Consistency and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen
The weak gravity conjecture (WGC) asserts that an Abelian gauge theory coupled to gravity is inconsistent unless it contains a particle of charge and mass such that $q \geq…

How Many -Folds Should We Expect from High-Scale Inflation?
Grant N. Remmen, Sean M. Carroll
We address the issue of how many -folds we would naturally expect if inflation occurred at an energy scale of order GeV. We use the canonical measure on trajectories i…
