Moduli Space Reconstruction and Weak Gravity
Naomi Gendler, Ben Heidenreich, Liam McAllister +2
We present a method to construct the extended Kähler cone of any Calabi-Yau threefold by using Gopakumar-Vafa invariants to identify all geometric phases that are related by flops…
TF08 Snowmass Report: BSM Model Building
Patrick J. Fox, Graham D. Kribs, Hitoshi Murayama +53
We summarize the state of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) model building in particle physics for Snowmass 2021, focusing mainly on several whitepaper contributions to BSM model bui…
Asymptotic Scalar Field Cosmology in String Theory
Tom Rudelius
Asymptotic (late-time) cosmology depends on the asymptotic (infinite-distance) limits of scalar field space in string theory. Such limits feature an exponentially decaying potentia…
Sharpening the Distance Conjecture in Diverse Dimensions
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Sami Kaya +2
The Distance Conjecture holds that any infinite-distance limit in the scalar field moduli space of a consistent theory of quantum gravity must be accompanied by a tower of light pa…
Some open questions in axion theory
Prateek Agrawal, Kim V. Berghaus, JiJi Fan +3
This white paper collects some open questions in several different aspects of axion theories. The questions are related to quantization of axion couplings, axion-magnetic monopole…
Constraints on Early Dark Energy from the Axion Weak Gravity Conjecture
Tom Rudelius
A popular proposal for resolving the Hubble tension involves an early phase of dark energy, driven by an axion field with a periodic potential. In this paper, we argue that these m…
