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…
Asymptotic Observables and the Swampland
Tom Rudelius
We show that constraints on scalar field potentials and towers of light massive states in asymptotic limits of scalar field space (as posited by the de Sitter Conjecture and the Sw…
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…
Dimensional Reduction and (Anti) de Sitter Bounds
Tom Rudelius
Dimensional reduction has proven to be a surprisingly powerful tool for delineating the boundary between the string landscape and the swampland. Bounds from the Weak Gravity Conjec…
