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…

Baby Universes, Holography, and the Swampland
Jacob McNamara, Cumrun Vafa
On the basis of a number of Swampland conditions, we argue that the Hilbert space of baby universe states must be one-dimensional in a consistent theory of quantum gravity. This sc…
