Non-minimal Elliptic Threefolds at Infinite Distance II: Asymptotic Physics
Rafael Álvarez-García, Seung-Joo Lee, Timo Weigand
We interpret infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of F-theory compactifications to six dimensions in the light of general ideas in quantum gravity. The li…
Non-minimal Elliptic Threefolds at Infinite Distance I: Log Calabi-Yau Resolutions
Rafael Álvarez-García, Seung-Joo Lee, Timo Weigand
We study infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds. In F-theory compactifications to six dimensions, such limits include infi…
D-brane and F-theory Model Building
Fernando Marchesano, Bert Schellekens, Timo Weigand
We review recent progress in the construction of four-dimensional vacua of Type II string theory and F-theory which yield the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) or extensions…
The Asymptotic Weak Gravity Conjecture in M-theory
Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno, Timo Weigand +1
The tower Weak Gravity Conjecture predicts infinitely many super-extremal states along every ray in the charge lattice of a consistent quantum gravity theory. We show this far-reac…
Quantum Gravity Bounds on N=1 Effective Theories in Four Dimensions
Luca Martucci, Nicolo Risso, Timo Weigand
We propose quantum gravitational constraints on effective four-dimensional theories with N=1 supersymmetry. These Swampland constraints arise by demanding consistency of the worlds…
The Asymptotic Weak Gravity Conjecture for Open Strings
Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno, Timo Weigand +1
We investigate the asymptotic Tower Weak Gravity Conjecture in weak coupling limits of open string theories with minimal supersymmetry in four dimensions, focusing for definiteness…
