Integral Scaling for EFT Strings from the Bottom-Up
Muldrow Etheredge, Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst +1
Near the core of an EFT string in a 4d theory, the scalars are dynamically driven to infinite field distance and a tower of states becomes light, with mass scaling…

Curvature divergences in 5d supergravity
Alejandro Blanco, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Melotti
We study the scalar curvature of the vector moduli space of 5d supergravities, obtained by compactifying M-theory on a Calabi--Yau three-fold. We find that …

The Moduli Space Curvature and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Alberto Castellano, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Melotti +1
We unveil a remarkable interplay between rigid field theories (RFTs), charge-to-mass ratios and scalar curvature divergences in the vector multiplet mod…
