An Introduction to the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Tom Rudelius
The Weak Gravity Conjecture holds that gravity must be the weakest force. This is true of the familiar forces in our own universe -- electromagnetism, for instance, is many orders…
A Distance Conjecture for Branes
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius
We use branes to generalize the Distance Conjecture. We conjecture that in any infinite-distance limit in the moduli space of a -dimensional quantum gravity theory, among the se…
Taxonomy of Infinite Distance Limits
Muldrow Etheredge, Ben Heidenreich, Tom Rudelius +2
The Emergent String Conjecture constrains the possible types of light towers in infinite-distance limits in quantum gravity moduli spaces. In this paper, we use these constraints t…
A Symmetry-centric Perspective on the Geometry of the String Landscape and the Swampland
Tom Rudelius
As famously observed by Ooguri and Vafa nearly twenty years ago, scalar field moduli spaces in quantum gravity appear to exhibit various universal features. For instance, they seem…
